Guardians in BG's - stoneshield is often useless

    While I doubt anyone will read this I thought I'd just get it off my chest anyway.
    The problem is that in raids and dungeons mobs hit hard and hit slow, so stoneshield is pretty reliable and fantastically useful.
    But in PVP thanks to hits below 10% of my health not being stopped I can literally put on 12 stoneshields and die without one being triggered all the way 44000 to zero health.

    Sometimes I actually survive longer in a BG wearing PVE gear since it does not reduce players attacks and therefore the hits are big enough to be absorbed by stoneshields... Not a great encouragement to collect BG gear.

    Now while I doubt anything can be done about the 1001 proc's that cause all the damage could something be done to the abilities so that they stop all the small hits while active? To balance their cooldowns could be increased for PVP, as otherwise as it is right now they often do nothing at all (and are less useful the more a player improves their gear).

    Never Que up w/o a healer.
    Take partisian cleave spec for BGs too - aoe damge + temp damage reduction.
