To get back on topic a little, I agree with the sentiments about paladin/shaman survivability. The ability for these classes to be so easily locked down by competent mages/warlocks/rogues, combined with the complete lack of utility (especially in the offensive department) and the illumination+10 other paladin nerfs patch is exactly why I rerolled (all the way from 1-70) priest from paladin at the end of season 1. I couldn't be happier with the decision and haven't regretted it even for a second. I feel much more durable on my priest the majority of the time (exception being purge happy enhancement shaman + warrior/rogue/hunter trains in non-arena BGs).
My fear is that they will never do anything about it. These issues are much less of a problem in 5v5 and they claim to not balance for anything else. As someone who enjoys the smaller brackets the most, that pretty much precludes me from ever considering playing one of those 2 classes as my pvp main again (or even as an alt at a competitive level). I enjoy my priest a lot, but I do keep my paladin up to date, just in case, with 30% of 10 games each week on an alt team.
