What Porkchop said is spot on. You can’t go wrong with either of those specs. Blood DK probably requires a lot more skill, as you have to analyze high-value targets quickly.

Guardian druids, you’re just unkillable while dealing some pretty good damage.

I’ll go against the grain and suggest necrolord prot with leaper legendary. Guardians and blood run the show, their goal is to attract attention and hopefully their allies clue in and exploit the enemies based on the divide they create.

As a necro prot with leaper your goal should be to support your front line, cause chaos amongst the enemies who react to your front line, support your front line, leap into the ranged stir up some trouble, leap to their healers instill fear, intervene back to your frontline, the possibilities are as endless as the enemies resolve.

Morale killer, warpath and ?thunderstruck would be my baseline suggestion for pvp talents.

Any Tank is fine for Epic BG’s. Not all tanks are the same, some are better than others at certain tasks but any properly played and avg geared tank can tank any boss(es) in an Epic BG.

Other than bosses and obvious Node Spins.

In AV, put a Prot Warrior at a chokepoint with a small group and watch the chaos that they can create.

In WG, put a Prot Pally as a rider in a Demo and you have a free casting support bot.

In IoC put any Tank on top of a tower to control/kill the guns and lock it down to help the gate assault.

In Ashran let a Guardian and a Few Rogues/Ferals/Balance and Resto Druids head straight to the Enemy Mage and then the Artifact Turn In NPC while people are dancing at ROC. a 5 man team almost requires 7-10 people to counter what they are trying to accomplish.

For ebgs a tank is a tank so long as they are proficient. It’s rbgs that pretty much require bear tanks.

This goes to Dreaux, dam your a smart cat …. Know I wanna join a guild that does a lot of pvp epic bg’s etc … and then feel like changing from my fury warrior or mm hunter to a feral or guardian with stealth lol
