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!
You still haven't realized that you're simply not supposed to be able to beat such teams in that horrible bracket? The only thing you can possibly do is change to a full PVE gear set up in your weapons, neck, cloak, rings, and your second trinket, but even then you've already lost. You also need to change your play style from what I have seen from you, you run around like you're in plate and have 40k HP while standing in the LOS of everyone.

You probably need to change your spec too, it's rather bad to be quite honest ;p

And seems as we're having digs, I'll thank you for the 100 points my old 3v3 took off you guys in our leveling process, but hey, we didn't get lucky against some bad team, unlike you ;p
