If your fantasy is to PvP as a Protection Warrior and to slam your shield in the face of your enemy, be a bit more patient and look forward to the new talents introduced with Wrath of the Lich King for the Protection Warrior, such as Shockwave, Warbringer, Improved Spell Reflection or Gag Order. The Protection tree excels at increasing your survival but severely lacks abilities to damage your enemies and therefore you will struggle to win a PvP battle as a pure tank. The Protection Warrior is poorly equipped for PvP in TBC just like it was in Classic. If you are interested in PvP as a Warrior, it is recommended that you turn yourself to the Arms specialization for its superior damage output and great utility, especially Mortal Strike and its healing reduction effect to name only one.
