Races & Racials
Gnome is the most popular race for Protection Warrior at 55%, followed by Human (18%) and Night Elf (9%).
Gnome at 55% usage is a clear favorite, largely thanks to Escape Artist, which removes any root or snare on a short cooldown.
Human players bring Will to Survive, which removes all stun effects, acting as a PvP trinket on a 3-minute cooldown.
Gear Strategy
The preferred secondary stats are Versatility and Haste, with Mastery as a third option. Since the item level of PvP gear scales in PvP, the real gearing decision comes down to picking the right items for these stats.

Top players are doubling up on Arcanoweave Lining for both embellishment slots.
The most popular bloodstone is Enduring Heliotrope (73%), and the most common secondary gem is Flawless Versatile Peridot (47%).
