Well i hear all the time how being prot spec is not good in PvP, well i have been doing some pvp to get healing gear(guild made an arena team so i will try healing it)
But anyways I generally do AV tank the 2 big bosses, kinda fun that way.
Or i just throw on all my healing gear and heal, not bad +1231 mp/5 around 120
in tank spec. Generally top 3 in av, so much fun when horde sees me healing, then i Pop HS or throw an Avenger's shield at them, I have found this actually isn't that bad. I still manage to heal pretty good and able to hold my own with the tank spec. Just an idea for anybody out there in the same boat as me. When respeccing is 50g a pop can get expesive doing it 3 or 4 times a week.

Prot spec in PVPFollow
You can do AVs as prot. You can tank NPCs, you can handle the occasional rogue, but in smaller battlegrounds and arena you're more a hindrance than a help as prot.
Oh in arena I agree, i will respec to holy when we start to do those, but for now im just getting some PVP gear for them.
I got a 69 prot pally (getting WSG marks before i go to 70 and cant get anymore) and a prot pally is a GREAT flag carrier. Druid may be better, but at worst we are a number 2. Great at holding the flag too, can be fun for a while.
Prot Pallies are fun until you encounter one of the following by yourself in PvP:
-Mage (kites you)
-Hunter (kites you)
-Warlock (fear chains you)
-Priest (mana burns or fears you)
-Rogue (stunlock variety)
-Shaman (50% chance of beating them depending on their spec)
-Druid (50% chance of beating them depending on their spec)
-Warriors (50% chance of beating them depending on their spec)
Fun times when you encounter one of the following:
-Rogue (the ones that have no idea are hilarious until they realise whats going on)

I was a prot spec in 3v3 arena for three weeks. It was horrible. Half the time was stunned/feared/etc.... so getting any heal off was very difficult. I was usually the main target. If not me it was our mage, who I frankly couldn't heal fast enough to compared to the damage she would take.
Respecced to Ret and its a world of difference.

Yeah you would probably want to fill out some of those 1/3, 1/5 talent choices not to mention upgrading some of your gear too. Pursuit of Justice might help you close the gap on your opponents too.
You really have too many greens to be battling in Arena and BGs. I have just about all blues and I wouldnt go near an arena match because I'd feel like I was gimping my team but hey if they dont mind then go for it.

QFT.
I've had so much fun with rogues.

Yeah, as soon as I see you have a shield and your mana is floating around 5-6k, I completely ignore you and go for the other guy, cause you're going to be smacking me with your hammer for like... 200 damage.

Not sure where you are trying to go with this. That would be my gear and talents after I respecced. It was completely different before that.
