Right now, 2v2 is all about burst. Healing and survivability didn't scale with the new talents nearly as well as damage did, so even a healer who is being completely ignored and spamming their best heals isn't going to be able to keep their partner up through any sort of RNG string or back-to-back CC chain. Ret pallies, rogues, mages, shadow priests and balance druids are the worst offenders at this point, in roughly that order. Basically pick two of those classes and do a Double-DPS or bash your head against a wall.

That's about /thread until we get to play with 71 talent points.
