Breakfast Topic: AV play style poll

I have a confession to make. I love doing Alterac Valley , but I hate being stuck babysitting flags. I am not a defender- neither at a flag nor at the general's end of the map. As I mentioned on the WoW Insider Show, my main is a Resto Shaman. On Cyclone Battlegroup there seems to be a race to get away from the flag once it's been taken. The last one left is the "defender." Being a healer often times I drink after a taking a flag while everyone else dashes off. I win the right to watch the flag. I stay there and call out incomings. I will not leave a flag undefended, but if there's any way I can scoot out of there, I will.

Resto or Holy (depending on class) defending a flag is a terrible waste of healing. I'm more of a speed bump than a defender. I don't kill much as Resto. I do my best, and I can stay up for a while. Hopefully some DPS will show up before I drop. I would much rather be on the front lines, healing the assault forces. I prefer to rush forward and facilitate forward momentum with my heals.

There are usually people on battleground chat yelling orders: "Need more on D;" "Get the towers;" And so forth. It seems that a balance of offense and defense are necessary to win the battleground. I just can't bring myself to play D. I don't see that changing any time soon, even with battleground updates coming with patch 2.4.

What's your strategy for winning in Alterac Valley?
