I just like to be a tough guy 
I play this Holy Priest and i feel like i am immortal in BGs. But then when i login on my Rogue i die so easily … I know i can Vanish, Evasion etc. but i would rather tank the dmg. Same on my Enhancement Shaman. Elemental is a bit tougher but not enough for my taste.
So i am looking for a DPS class/spec that can take way more hits than a Rogue or Enhancement. I don’t care if my dmg wouldn’t be so great as long as i have great survivability.
Any idea what class should i go for?
DH & DK seem pretty hardy.

Frost/Unholy DK or Havoc DH.

Thx guys. UH DK seems a right choice, not sure about Frost?
Rogues are not bad at all.
Just stealth the whole match and you don’t die

I am not talking about 1 vs 1, when Rogues can really shine. I have in mind massive fights, like 5 vs 5, 3 vs 5, 4 vs 7, etc., where Rogue would die in a matter of seconds if get focused by more then 2 opponents. I have in mind a dps class/spec that can take more hits than an average dps class.
For example, lets compare Mage to a Warlock. Mage could die in a stunlock, while Warlock can take more hits.
Rogue would also die in a stun, if the trinket is on cd, while Ret and DK would survive more than just a stun, am i right?
Sorry for English …
There is a talent called Elusiveness, it does wonders for rogue survivability in both st and aoe situation and the spell which it is tied to is Feint which is on a relatively low 15 second cooldown.
You also have Cloak of shadows and Evasiveness which when used both at the same time your are near invulnerable for 5 seconds ( 10 for physical damage ) which you by then you should be heading out from trouble.
Besides Retribution with it’s bubble, I don’t think dk’s can stand the punishment of 5 seconds of focus fire from multiple targets like rogues do.
The thing with rogue is planning, your active defensive spells are used when you think the big hit will come.
I personally find rogue way more easier in random bg’s then Frost dk and Fury Warrior ( the classes that I have played).

DK with Transfusion and Blood Pact can outheal a healer and is very hard to take down. That would be my choice.

When you play your game smart and do not rush into the front, mage can do fairly well on that end. If you frostnova-doubleblink back to regenerate, chances are the enemy team will not bother chasing you.
Are if you want ze healing
Druids master class.
I am looking for a dps spec, not a healer or tank. Resto and Guardian are both super tough, but i couldn’t say that for Moonkin and Feral.
I am surprised no one has mentioned Retribution paladin yet: LOH, Divine Shield, Shield of Vengeance, Eye for an Eye, Blessing of Protection, Flash of Light, plate armor, Divine Steed …
From what I know plate armor is only useful against other physical damage players and Ret has a huge burst yes but the non-burst or sustain damage is not as high as other classes.
Fury warrior
destro lock
dh
dk
fire mage
those are all pretty tanky and also do retarded damage, so pick your favorite
not quite sure how you think holy priest is tanky, but if you think priest is tanky, than above classes will blow your mind
I’ve noticed Demon Hunters are usually the last to die in group fights. Destro Warlocks are hard to kill as well.
Even the worst healer is (or should be) tougher than a dps with best survivability. And Holy Priest is certainly not the worst healer for random BGs. With the right talents such as: Afterlife, Spirit of the Redeemer and Greater Fade you get 14.5 sec immunity to all dmg + Guardian Spirit. Add 2 x 15% dmg reduction + 10% dmg reduction (Preserverance) and here we go 
Dps specs can’t have survivability of a healer or tank, otherwise pvp would be completely unbalanced.
Anyway i think i will give DK a go, simply because i can choose between two very tough dps specs. DH has one dps spec which is, imo, not that tanky at all. Many times i see Havoc destroyed in BGs in a single stun when focused by 3 + opponents. Fury is the only option for a Warrior, while Arms is probably a glass cannon. Warlock is another choice, all three specs seem very tough, not just Destruction …

tell that to fury, dhs, dks or fire mage.
They are all tanky and except mage have tons of heals too.
Yes with the cds you mentioned you last about 20s in a fight were people roll over you with no escape. After that you are dead and need to wait 3mins (?) again till you can survive for 20s again 
I didn’t say holy is bad in bgs, I quite enjoy it, but it is not tanky. As soon as 2 dps or 1 good dps sits on you, you just die or play survival and are useless for the team
