The protection spec for the paladin is the dumbest thing imaginable in the game just because it is a spec for only one bracket: 2moons gold. The port spec has never and will never see the light of day of any other bracket in arena just because the cheese involved with the spec is only useful in small scale battles like 2v2 where the healing deficiencies of the spec matter little when you are utilizing 20 sec Hog and a 30 second silence in Avengers Shield.
I actually played this team this morning after sitting through a 4 minute queue,, and the game lasted somewhere around 10 to15 minutes, with me hovering at 20% every single time the Hog or Avengers Shields came off cool down. Had it not been for my own retarded Ardent Defender (which is a passive shield wall when a paladin goes below 35% health) I would have died 1 minute into the match. Needless to say, I have a really bad temper when I play 2v2 because of the types of players I play against that can actually have a legitimate shot at beating me with their retarded comps or specs or classes.
