Hey all, first post in this legendary forum

I, a 28/33 holy priest am running 2v2 with a MM hunter and can't really complain, as our rating is lovely considering my PvP experience.

Having reached 2276 rating now, we are stumbling upon warlocks with 450+ resilience that just spam drain life / drain mana, which heals for insane amounts even if I dispel the fel armor. They're either teamed with a resto druid, holy paladin or another warlock that does the same as his buddy.

We can beat most paladin/warlock teams by just focusing on the warlock and killing his pet (twice if I fail to dispel the fel domination). After the pet is dead, I can run away to drink while my partner's pet / viper sting slowly eats away his mana. It's risky, but we've pulled it off.

However, if the warlock is teamed with a druid we just can't catch the druid / can't seem to drain his mana. This is even worse in the Blade's Edge arena, because they can drink after jumping off the bridge to get rid of the pet.

Even worse are the duo warlock teams with the engineering belt to absorb ~4k(?) dmg. They just DoT us up, I have to spend the entire time dispelling everything while they're just standing still spamming drains & dot's on my partner. We have no chance at all, they don't ever seem to drop below 80% HP.

Basically, I'm oom and dead before they/their healers even reach 50% mana.

Any thoughts / suggestions on how to beat the warlock teams?
I'm also accepting advice considering my gear and spec.
(The Armory)
I don't want to rely on shadow resistance though, as the gear swapping is being fixed in a future patch.

And oh, /wave Ausmara

thanks for the 25rating yesterday!
