Seriously, how freaking ignorant can people at Blizzard possibly be? They knew that priests and druids have serious problems with survivability, yet their only response to that is apparently to increase stun/fear/silence resistance and add snare immunity to Dispersion - along with a rather insignificant stamina buff.
So if I happen to sit on 20K health, I'm getting a whopping 800 health from this new amazing patch that would improve survivability. Hell yeah, I am so freaking glad that I will last about half a second longer than before.
Holy viable in PvP? Apparently not this time around.
Time to level a Paladin or Shaman I guess, if arena healing is ever meant to be fun again and last longer than 10 seconds.
For now I'm done with my priestly efforts in that department. Something is just seriously wrong if you spend more time queued up than in the actual arena simply because any dps class will burst you down within seconds thanks to having completely insufficient dispel resistance for the shield and some sort of immunity against Psychic Scream for those making you join the spectators.
