Is 5 priests team a good choic for pvp?

[beyond-tec]

something tells me u haven't pvp much in wow

i also love ur theorycraft

I've done much PvP in WoW but I don't have a single lvl 80 yet and I haven't done any PvP in WOTLK (take a look at my signature)
so my knowledge is based on BC where imho 5x priests can take down nearly every opponent in pvp combat while spamming
renews, shields, poms and holy novas.

5 priests will lose every single game because there are too many tools to "shut you down". DKs with grip/silence/amz, ret pallies with stuns and bubbles, mages with CS, warrios with stuns, etc will almost always kill one of your guys before you can do too much. Once its 5 v 4 its game over. Things like holy nova and COH and POH aren't powerful enough to let you survive long enough. Yes, Guardian Spirit, Penance, etc will help in survivability for a while but you are then in defensive mode and not killing anything, when those cooldowns are all blown you are dead.

if these changes had been made in WOTLK so that damage can no longer be outhealed then I'd understand
the point of Merujo that priests are crap and I'd suggest shamans. Druids got the serious issue that they
need to be in caster-form to heal which is nearly an instant death for the druid especially in the arena.
(had been in BC that way, dunno if it's still so)
