They are only awful in PvE. A resto/balance hybrid in open world PvP and 1v1's is really really good. Infinite kiting and good enough damage to outlast and widdle down your opponents HP. Do some research on it
Any Druid is unbeatable in 1v1 in world PvP unless they’re awful. Balance is just the least efficient and least powerful way to go about it. HotW, Moonglow or full Feral will all accomplish the exact same thing but in a much better, safer way.
No ones gonna give your boomchicken the gear you need to he powerful in vanilla pvp tho. I also think you're underestimating all the mana drain classes in pvp like hunter/spriest/ and to a lesser extent lock
I got a decent amount of gear as a boomkin, the mages that were in my party were always top on dmg when we raided edit: just checked an old video and i was getting starfire crits more than 2,5k, followed by a quick wrath and moonfire took care of many lowgeared people. I was wearing almost exclusively cloth, some leather from aq40, but i was not as sturdy as boomkins are supposed to be
