Indeed. Though this will likely change if/when talasites take a nerf and all of a sudden loloneshot becomes a thing again. But for right now, yea, CC matter and you gotta line up a kill. Its quite nice.
Strongest melee spec so far?

Sad prot pally isn't up there, takes a whole team to kill, heals and dmg are nearly equal. if the player has half a brain cell total healing and dmg combined can easily get over 100k. Love hate relationship with 800-1600 WoG and judgement's floating around..

Germinus brought up Prot Pally too...
I mean, it’s a tank spec, so I didn’t include gimmicky possibilities like Blood, Guardian, or Prot for Pally & Warrior for melee DPS consideration, although they can be played that way.
So even with the extra 25% damage tanks receive in PvP (or whatever the debuff or penalty they get hit with is), they’re still super tough to take down?

Understandable, i just thought it was one of the "strongest melee classes" out atm as I haven't played any other twinks melee or ranged capable of the dmg and healing, along with the survivability just makes it so much fun, last BG as a 19 i went 52-0 and did over 60k dmg and 50k healing solo camping a GY, could've ate a sammich it was so easy (currently grabbing BiS BC socket gear at 20).

Dunno about all tanks, but prot paladins have some survivability. First they can heal, of course. But with Word of Glory, they do so with instants, and without mana. Just need three holy power thingies, but with their fairly low cooldown on their abilities, it comes back very often.
Biggest problem I've had so far was against Ret paladins, that can heal just as well, but have a better damage/survivability ratio. I just have more HP, that they chew through eventually. Could be solely because I'm full Talasite for now, could fare better with a bit more offense.
I have a prot warrior as well. Fun, but not survivable at all. The only thing you'll kill are levelers, and even then, hunter or mage, well...
Edit : I have a DK and druid as well. Havent played the DK as blood yet(frost currently), but their Runic power generation seems too low for them to be good. Plus, death strike was nerfed to hell. Havent been able to play my Bear Druid, but faced some, they seem okay-ish.

Death Strike hits MUCH harder in Blood than in Frost.

nah blood healing is DOGSHIT in bgs even with full talasite, cuz the heal value is cut in half in bgs to 3.5% hp (im not even sure the +25% damage taken works or not), plus the runic cost would mean you can barely cast more than 2 deathstrikes in a row.
Playing as a blood dk in pvp , you would want to be with a dps or something, then you can rope important targets with your 15 sec deathgrip, slow them constantly and let your dps friend chew them up.
