eh, a similarly geared ret pally will take out a MS warrior just fine now. they'll have basically the same HP, pally will have a little less crit and won't hit quite as hard, but they can take the warrior with a stun, repentance and a heal, not to mention bubble/BoP. and I'm just going off my experiences without the new changes in 2.3.
edit: what I mean is, they've added in a new class that can stand up to the MS warrior with the ret buffs now, while a ret pally still has huge weaknesses to other classes like rogues or mages/warlocks.
until ret pallys have 350-400 resilience, i'm going to say no
review from the PTR saying that warriors >>> ret paladins, when we start seeing rets in full s3 arena suits, that might change
removing the disarm immunity isnt really a nerf imo, it adds strategy back to pvp that was present pre-TBC, the only classes that can disarm are rogues who have riptose, and other warriors, this will only seperate scrub warriors from more skilled warriors
if you want to call it a nerf, its a nerf to all melee classes in wow, not just warriors
the HS time reduction is a nerf, as it will be harder to keep more than 1 target hamstrung at all times in arena, that being said warrior will still be the best arena class in the game, so w/e
if you search the BG9 ("bloodlust" generally regarded as the number 1 pvp bracket worldwide) arena brackets for 2v2, 3v3, 5v5, the number 1 team is held by the same warrior in all brackets, Serennia

2v2 = warrior + druid
3v3 = warrior + druid + lock
5v5 = classic 2345 team
and i totally agree w/ orc shaman, look ace in s2 arena gear, best looking horde race for males imo, orcs just look bad ass in all gear, and they actually wear boots lol
