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.
I can pretty much agree with that summary, since those are the classes I fight on more even terms. I just got too verbose on my side.

It's not any better at 80 - if things are to improve, much more changes will be required than an extra 10 accessible talent points.

In my opinion a decrease in the damage dealt while the bubble is active by 50% would solve most problems.

I have not forsaken you. This thread does suck.
