love the videos! Any tips on finding people to Queue with? I have played healers in pvp for years for easy queues but I recently started a dps and asbsolutely no one wants to run games unless I heal. most of the communties I used to be a part of have dried up. I dont know how people get into pvp like this! thanks
I know this video is only your opinion but I'd say both your Enhancement and Frost DK calls are lacking and placing it Enhancement on B after that you said doesn't make tons of sense in my ears. Frost DK could go on C but for other reasons I'd say.
The main issue with Enhancement is their damage profiles, their downtimes, how RNG is baked into their specs, how much damage you can do to yourself if you use your skills when you're not supposed to (reset swing timers) and finally how it feels to do so few damage compared to the other specs (which sadly is part of the fun). For example, WDWB legendary (the raid one) offers a "sustained ST damage" and it relies tons of the uptime of Hot Hands (which has a terrible proc rate, making it very luck reliant) while your use your skills and Doom Winds is a "bursty ST damage that can cleave" and the main issue is that sometimes all your stuff is on CD, you don't have Maelstorm and for that reason you're left with 1 second or 2 without being able to do anything because if you cast something channeled you end up hurting your DPS (as it resets your swing timer). All that makes the spec less "fun" to play because literally you feel you're "lacking" stuff. Be it damage, or maelstorm or something. You can be now NF (best ST and Soulshape is cool), Venthyr (good of all trades but master of none) and Kyrian (great at ST and AoE).
With Frost DKs their main issue is that in M+ and raids the most viable build is Breath of Sindragosa and that's a build that's hard to play (but EXTREMELY rewarding). You can go Kyrian ST with FDK (and it allows you to use Oblit) but the build is also too basic to play and not many people like it for that reason (another extreme). So, the spec has the potential to be "boring" if you do it wrong but if you're looking for something that's hard to play it might fun, keeping in mind all the caveats of BoS (like actually knowing you're very reliant of a CD and actually using it well which can be AWFUL for some of people).
Also, in terms of fun (this might be a different between all people) I believe there's a weird concept that it's "fun" to heal because you can if you're an hybrid spec but in reality you never want to be healing others if you're not a healer unless it's utmost neccesary because you won't be saving anyone and you'll just end hurting yourself in the long run. Once you realize that actually "healing" does that to you it becomes really, reeeeally boring. Most of the times the best way to see this is a different way to "save yourself" compared to what other classes might have.
Sure, a lot of specs are fun. But not really. After I started playing warrior as alt I realized why 70% of my glad games on main was vs warrior teams (the rest was RMP, Jungle..). Now I just realized how much easier and fun it is to play a broken spec. Have also started playing WW now this season. If you are not warr, WW, ret, BM, feral or rogue/mage do not expect pushing arena to be fun. You are just playing a spec on a completely different level. My big advice: just embrace the meta! Blizzard is not balancing PvP this expansion (or the last).

Venth rogue lines up perfectly with dread blades on outlaw. Could be a nasty combo but still hard to beat the control of sub with the kidney – sap

Why is arms warrior in the #1 spot? Also, Surv is better than BM in 2s actually
