Wintergrasp -- best thing since sliced bread

So I got to level 80 less than a week ago, and I've been running BGs and WG to gain more honor points in hopes of gearing up.
I just equipped my 3rd piece of epic armor as I entered Wintergrasp. In this round, the Horde had to defend the main forge and cap/keep the surrounding GY's/Towers. I was running around the southern end of Wintergrasp, making sure our towers weren't in danger, etc. when I come by a male draenai. I see him target me, and Death Grips me to him. I attack back, and a duel ensues. We keep hitting each other--stuns and insta casts, each of us kiting around, jumping around trying to keep out of each other's range. I keep getting him down to half life, but he pops a HP pot or uses a heal to heal himself back up. I keep spamming Living Bomb on him, whcih helped incredibly as it kept damaging him and brought his HP down significantly.
Just as I was about to die (I don't have any heal spells) and about to admit defeat, a heal comes out of nowhere, healing me for all my health. A pally appeared to help me!
At that point, I focused on attacking the Draenai, and I soon came to the realization that this pally was an incredible healer. He buffed me right away, and kept my health up the entire time. I kept wailing on the draenai, but eventually my mana ran low, and the ominous text of 'Mana Low' flashed across my screen in bold red lettering. I quickly popped a mana pot and as I did another Alliance DK appears and starts attacking me. I keep my focus on the original guy, and am able to finish him off (finally) after about a 10 min. long duel between the two of us. My mana ends up running out again as I switch my focus to the second DK, and as I kite around the DK, the pally who was healing me pst's me saying 'sorry, oom.' At this point I try to keep the DK as far from me as possible, trying to prevent him from meleeing my health down. I pop all my insta casts and movement imparing spells, slowing him enough to use Mirror Image. My doubles attack him as I move off to the side and use Evocation to bring back all my mana. I start fighting him down to half life, and he does the same when all of a sudden I gain back 10k+ of my health. It was the pally again! He was able to gain back enough mana to start healing me again, and as I start to finish him off, a friend of mine (an undead DK) comes by and helps deliver the killing blow on the DK.
The two battles took at least a good 20 mins. to do, and it was an amazing duet between mage and pally, facing off against two DKs. I thanked him numours times through pst's afterward, in which he replied that it was no problem.
It was quite an experience, and almost Arena-esque, as overall it was more or less a 2v2 battle. I seriously want to get geared now, and start up an Arena team. If I can find a healer as good as that one, we could be a crazy sweet duo.

Warsong Gulch - A Stalemate

Character: Renvi [Frost Mage]
Horde
Realm: Anub'arak

Best PvP BG ever.
We began with a few more people than the Alliance, but we soon evened out to a 10 v. 10 match.
I decided to go on D, along we a few other people, as the rest went on offense to cap the flag. Our team would get the flag and run it to about the middle of the area before it would be reset. The Alliance would attempt to get the flag, but would never get much farther.
This continued back and forth, neither team capping any flags. It was a complete stalemate for at least 20 minutes, until at last, we capped one flag. 10 minutes later we capped another, and the score stood at 2-0. Since the BG was 10-10, it wouldn't end early, so the war went on.
It was 2-0, with the Horde on top. Aiming for a Warsong Gulch perfection, my team heads for the final cap. As they head towards the Alliance base, 4 DK's enter our base as I stand alone on the flag. I summon my Water Elemental, and as I call for help from my team, I freeze them and begin aoeing from afar. One of my teammates come to help, but I die and she shortly after.
The Alliance ends up getting our flag and taking it to their base, which would be a cap for them, except we already had their flag and our carrier was sitting in our base. Bother flag cappers standing in their respective bases, neither able to cap without their own flag back in their base.
I and a few others protect our flag carrier, while the rest of my team headed to kill their flag carrier. It was a long process--the Alliance would attack us, and I and the other people on D work together to defeat them. After another 10+ minutes, we kill the flag carrier and the game finally ends! Everyone cheers and woot, congrating each other and laughing at the ridiculous time spent on this BG.
A WG Perfection, and probably one of the longest battleground pvp's ever. I found out later it took more than a hour to finish that game.
They were a great team, and it was a great PvP match...
