In till ret gets mobility I won’t suggest Paladin. It’s in a awkward place atm I still want our old talent in MoP Judgement speed boost - Long Arm of the Law.
Just go WW Monk or Feral Druid.
seriously havent been beaten by a hunter this entire exp dh ww yes bm no
you cant take 3 melee and win I call bs on that unless they are 110’s or something. way to many stuns

but how? Arms has no self healing not even mobility due to stormbolt over double time.
I guess they just sucked? I don’t know what to tell you, I don’t play disc fotm and went for a hardcore survival style. Between instant radiance, the time shield bubble, rapture, and having a high mastery build with 3x depths of the shadows and the minor power that makes your shadowmend crit for 100% the second time you heal with it I can get full hp in about two shadowmends. I just wear people down - we are also talkign about wpvp, not arenas
Ret pally and Arcane mage if you can get the jump and keep a gap
WW, Ret, Illitard, bear druid.
WW: A good WW monk is insane. And always has been. I have an undergeared (440) ww monk that can do nasty burst every like 2 minutes. And most bad players try to tank you because of his low hp and get puckered.
Ret: If you can connect, its dead.
Illitard: Lets be real, this class is busted.
Bear druid: I have 1 mil hp on my bear druid, with dps traits, anima, and 30% TD. I can tank a whole group of players, out heal my healers in pvp and most of the time top charts. It is insane.

The best part is when they hide in a city and you just tank like 10 guards and kill them anyways.

I recommend Bm monk, depending on your skill level.
If you only ever use keg smash and tiger palm, yeah you’ll get creamed but if you understand how to use our 5-6 CC’s, you are pretty much kitted out for 1v1. The only class you will have a hard time killing are like disc priest and geared resto druid, but like, eh, it’s just a tie as they heal and run away.
Ret Paladin or Boomkin or Ele Shaman Marksman Hunter those 4 including Rogues can delete you!
I’m for the paladins. Prot and Ret are some tough fellers. Prot is hard to put down and ret, if they have the jump on you, do some crazy big numbers.
Feral is ridiculous right now, too. If people don’t trinket my Rake stun in the opener to interrupt Convoke, they die. I have a strong suspicion Convoke will be nerfed in PvP, but rn it just 
s on people

i get killed in sub 2 seconds. if i use a trinket to break out of the stun i just get blinded, sapped, and 2 shot without trinket.
outlasted by ret paladins
kited by hunters, kited by mages
WW monks have 2 problems in this garbage meta
- your “meaningful damage” is gated behind having multiple cooldowns active
eg: covenant, xuen, storm earth & fire - generally all at once
these abilities are all on the GCD - your meaningful damage base abilities are chi spenders and the only consistent Chi-Builder is Tiger-Palm. Tiger palm does practically-no-damage. It’s almost a dead GCD.
I believe this might have been by design in the monk release. Their potential for burst was gated behind this really underwhelming chi-builder GCD; their strongest single dps ability (FoF) is channeled instead of one big shot. This probably made sense against all the mobility they were gifted compared to Old WoW, but this is New WoW where so many classes have ridiculous mobility: better, faster, longer lasting mobility.
In the meta where so many (or at least just you because your defensives aren’t great) are getting burst down —
having to spend FIVE GCD’s to be dangerous makes you hot garbage.
other than that you just get killed in 2s by sub rogues.

Any1 who doesn’t say ret paladin is a literal retard. Rets are unkillable gods.

I do find Rets super annoying, they just have way to much healing with their survival kit. I can fight against them though, I mean I may not win, but I can leap away and run.
Rogues on the other hand way to much control, burst and survival. They need a weakness.
WW is the 2nd best spec in shadow right now
Disc priest, lol. I have people avoid me in large swaths - I may not catch you, but disc is like a rolling tank
As far as casters go, a well-played boomkin would be up there.
Although Rogues are probably best, I still think Ret Pld as of today are the kings of 1v1. Massive Burst, eye for an Eye or Blind, Shield of Vengeance, Freedom, Divine Shield, Lay on Hands Wings, and amazing quick top off healing.
1v1 you would have to kill that Pld 3 maybe 4 times!
I mean, I’ve killed plenty of rets.
