Good, I've been wanting to ask this for a while now but didn't really have a relevant thread to post it in. A good RL friend of mine just hit 70 on his druid a couple of weeks ago and he really likes to pvp. The problem though is that he's very casual, doesn't ever read about the game outside the game, and is overall very ignorant of most game mechanics. He's been hounding me to play 2v2 arena with him, and I don't mind too much(I massively outgear 1500-1600 rating players for the most part so it's mildly amusing), but what I do mind is that I cannot seem to explain certain things so that he understands them. Things like how counterspell works, what a felhunter can do, and most importantly, kiting. To give you some more perspective on this guy, I got a huge earful about how "It's bullshit that priests get AE fear, that's not fair." I had to bite my tongue on that one.

Is there a druid kiting for dummies FAQ anywhere I can point him to? Or perhaps a good pvp video I could refer him to that preferably isn't really huge? I referred him to the Fat Cow videos, but he just rebuked me because those "are 700 MB and take way too long to download." Sigh. The stickied thread on the official druid forums seemed like it was aimed mostly at sub level 70 players. Heck, even any minor tips and tricks you guys learned that might seem like common knowledge would be appreciated.
