How to Spec for PVP in WoW Patch 3.0.2 (pre-WotLK)

World of Warcraft Patch 3.0.2 will include a massive change to how we play our class in both PVE and PVP because of the addition of the new 61 talent points that will carry over into Wrath of the Lich King. Everyone's talent will reset, so have you thought about how you're going to spend your talent points?

The specs are listed below.

But which classes make the best partners for your character? What's the best way to handle each specific opponent? Find out the top WoW PVP strategies in the:
