I am not sure why playing a non-meta tank causes players to be so critical… I play protection warrior because I enjoy it, it brings something different to the table, and actually I’d say I play it half well… there is no reason I shouldn’t play protection if it’s something I enjoy and I can do my job… people that say I should not play protection are falling into the trap of only dh/guardian are ‘legit’ in RBG’s, when there are other tanks, that should have equal opportunity, which is what I try to do as protection… no need to hate.
Enhacement instead needs a damage buff. I hit proportionally much less than in season 3 and 4.
120k thunderbolt with 10 maelstroms stacks, on people with 2M. Is ridiculous.
Even in ascension the damage is so absurd right now that the CD should have 1 minute instead of 3.
Yeah I mean you play what you want and you do you but other players are allowed to have opinions and it not be hate yknow 
particularly when you post on forums about an issue ingame. In regards to your initial problem of getting 1 shotted by an ele sham here are some points to consider.
-
Pre patch is unbalanced SPECIFICALLY ele shamans and a few others but ill stick to the problem you’ve pointed out.
-
Tanks in dragonflight pvp take about 60% extra damage. if you took 4mil dmg in 1sec then reducing this by 60% brings the figure to about 1.6mill (Most players in bis gear with buffs will have about 2mill-2.1mill hp) so 1.6mill is pretty much a 1 shot on dpsers too. (btw ele shamans can easily do 2m+dmg within 1 or 2 globals during their burst window).

You need to clarify if you had shield wall up etc.
Brotherman every single person is getting 1 shotted by ele shamans right now(even other ele shams). You seem to think because you play a tank it shouldnt happen to you? Its somthing that blizzard know is happening but why would they bother to fix it when it fixes itself (until the next op class is found with new updates) when TWW goes live.
In response to your query regarding healers and this current situation in pre patch i refer you to my point two. Healers are not tanks, and therefore will not be taking 60% extra damage and thus will not have to outheal 4mill dmg in 1 second. Quite to the contrary healers are in a pretty good spot to defuse ele shaman dmg via dispells of flame shocks + popping defs. Ive tested a high rated ele shaman popping full cds into my disc priest and i just pop all my defs and remove his flame shocks as much as a i can and each lava burst hits me for about 60-100k rather than the absurd amount we currently see clapping unsuspecting players in bgs.
If you insist on playing like a warrior will you please at least act like one? 
Best of luck on your future adventures friend.
To be honest, I am really not even going to bother to reply to the points you have made here as there are so many cheap-shots it’s unreal, and also completely unnecessary… I have no idea why some players feel they need to belittle others as you have just done, it seems very immature and frankly unkind… it is possible to constructively criticize without being unkind you know.
Interesting… All i did was point out the facts to the issue you explained and you no longer wish to communicate under the pretense that i had so many cheap shots yet you dont even point out at least 1 so called cheap shot. whats unnecessary about what i said to you? I explained to you why you are in the situation you are posting about and im being called unkind lol. I even sympathised with you explaining that you are not the only player in this game. getting 1 shotted lol. People are turbo sensitive on this game i swear its not like anything else ive seen on the interwebs lol. Literally cant tell sombody they are wrong because thats unkind lmao
Just to point out that in WSG and TP, flag carriers take an extra 10% damage every 15-20 seconds. So when non-tanks take the flags, by the time they die and have already accumulated several stacks, the tank then picks up the flag and is already about to get whalloped by the already accrued stacks, by then you’re probably already taking at least 100% extra damage, if you mange to survive till 20 stacks, you’re getting pummelled by 200% extra damage.
Healer flag carrier is the new norm in my opinion.

Yes those are the flag stacks thats been in the game for many years now. Thanks for letting us know
Ele shaman is fine what are you guys talking about 
- thats a joke for the socially challenged people here.
In Blitz it speeds up the process. We all know including himself that stacks stacks up over time 
Just pointing out why in Blitz, it’s so easy to go from 100-0 when you had the instant damage the likes of Ele’s were hitting with
Aye i get you but im defiantly confused or im wrong but dont those stacks happen in normal mode too just takes a bit longer?
Yeah, they just accrue a lot faster in Blitz
