This is my third week since hitting 85, so I didn't really get a chance to play with a geared team before the HB nerf. But after getting full honor gear at the end of week two I was able to creep up to 1400, with a 25% win ratio. I was able to buy my weapons Tuesday, and proceeded to go 10-8... and a hair under 1600. This is where I finally ran into the ring of frost problem.

But all in all, I do find myself getting better, and keeping my pally alive longer. And I do find that opponents who recognize my iwt team can drastically take advantage of certain maps.
