But I totally see your point of in 5v5 it's "easier" as maybe even the most dedicated healer cannot out heal 4 vs 1 dps-wise.

In general I find that people are posting lots of strats, macros, setups etc. on the PvE issue, but very few are willing to share their PvP tips. So I just wanted to start with something and try to figure it all out by myself.
The massive difference in that is that PVE is scripted, so you can comment on events you know that will happen. With PVP the only thing you can make a tactic for is against a certain setup and then still it's doubtful that it still works. Since for example, there's a huge difference in playstyles. One team could be recklessly offensive and the other team with the same setup can play very defensive. It just boils down to judging situations to where you see fit. I couldn't think of any "tips" to share.

Things that are generally usefull is knowing what spells/abilities every class has. And what cooldowns are on key spells/abilities. If a priest can cast a pain suppression every time your offensive cooldowns come free, you know that waiting for your offensive CD's and trying to burst then isn't gonna cut it. Watching some PVP vid's with commentary learns you most I think. Possibly read some guides for classes you're interested in.
