Trinkets for pvp

[heyaz]

Personally just go with anything that buffs +spellpower all the way. Res will never save you if you can't kill someone with low spellpower

That's true. I've noticed in multiboxing pvp that survivability is about killing the dps rather than being harder to kill yourself. I've capped myself at around 21000hp and won't gem any higher simply beacuse that extra bit won't keep me alive, nor will a little extra resilience. What keeps me alive is killing dps, not leaving them at 5% hp only to get healed back to full again.

I'm not sure who it was, but there was a post where someone stacked all resil and stam (like 1100 resil and 26000hp) and the results in arena were not good, you still get bursted down, but you can't kill anything fast enough.

With mutliple dps on a shaman, there isn't much hope no matter what kind of gear you have. I was watching a live 2v2 broadcast of a 2600 rated team - resto shaman and feral druid. Resto shaman in full furious, tauren, probably packing >1000 resil and 23k hp- rogue priest team bursted him from 100% -> dead before cheap shot wore off. Just made me realize how soft shaman are
