Faction Balance, Prot Paladin FCing, and Active Premading.

When last I played 19's, seems every game was alliance rogues with 800 hp getting farmed by WT. How is faction balance as of yet? And is anyone currently playing Prot FC? Kiting FC as holy is nice, but I remember games tending to end up with turtling and stacks getting well above 4. Lastly, which guilds are realistically capable of premading atm?

I'm prot pally FC., 19s is far more balanced than it was in Cata, much less burst, heals are massive currently.

Mana has been set to a certain amount per level.

Balance/Resto Druids, Ele/resto shaman, and holy paladins, i believe, get 550 mana whereas their melee (or feral/guardian in caster form) counterpart are 110 mana. (At 19)

All other casters are 550 mana by default. (at 19)

Balance Druids are probably the new hunter right now, can't say why but all I've heard is that their heals are what's keeping them alive.

Currently games are filled with Healers now.

Hunters lost their spot as OP, and now sit in the borderline along with the rest. They still have a majority of CCs to choose from, so they weren't gimped to be useless.

These are my thoughts and are highly debatable.

Yea, I understand all that, I actively play the 20s in my sig. I just want to know where this bracket is in terms of how people are actually playing currently. Is there still a dominant faction, do people premade, and are there many active prot FCs? Or are they all rdruids?

It's either rDruid or rShaman because they can kite, though once in a blue moon I see Antares (Prot warrior) and Ciinder (Prot warrior) FC in horde side.
Game's I've been in, they usually mark me as FC, unless a rDruid can handle it.

I haven't played much since enhancement got ruined, but the games i did enter since the patch release have been really fun, aside from the holy shock madness. But IMO with all these healers running around i would roll a prot warr fc, the chances of you getting a healer in your match is really high so...Yeah.

Yeah, I haven't been able to bring my A-game today. Pretty much made my self the fool of prot pallies.
