Might I suggest you try PvP again (Oh, wait, you're Horde now, oh,
well, at least you're not on my server ;-) )? IMNSHO, one good healer
can still turn the tide in TB. Admittedly, this isn't me (yet, if it
ever *will* be), but my Rogue (my main PvPer) has been able to hold
off a full charge (Fan of Knives ftw ;-) ) *if* I have a good healer
keeping me up. In one battle, where we were defending, I only died
once, only to have what I assumed was the same healer follow me to the
next base, where we held off the charge for the rest of the battle.
Even when we're attacking (read: most of the time), if a good healer
is paying attention to me I can take out most of a base that the
opposition holds. I've come out of many battles feeling I won the
game, only to realize that it was really the healer keeping me up that
won it for us ;-)
