It's totally valid for wow gold players to worry about scaling.
We said from the beginning that there would be three major patches to Wrath of the Lich King. We aren't setting up a system that is going to remain on autopilot for 10 more tiers of content without our intervention. It's totally valid for wow gold players to worry about scaling, and all things considered, we'd rather have mechanics that scale well. But if those scaling problems aren't going to manifest themselves until you have item level 500 items, then you're worried prematurely.We would like to get Prot warriors into PvP in a legitimate way, but our first priority is making sure every class has at least one viable PvP spec first. By "legitimate", it does not mean that you sometimes can do a 19K Shield Slam when all the stars align. That's not acceptable even if it is rare. Also consider that tanks do have a legit role acting like actual tanks when running flags or tanking AV-style NPCs. That may not be enough of a role, emphasizing BGs more and Arenas less also helps to carve out a niche for PvP tanks.We want Prot warriors to do decent damage in PvE. We don't want them to do as good damage as actual DPS specs, there needs to be a trade-off for such high survivability. This means we need threat multipliers or you won't be able to actually hold aggro. Its okay if Shield Slam can make big (yet not absurd) numbers, since you don't Shield Slam all that much. That's fun.
