Guard only works in a 30/40 foot range. So either the tank has to hang back to be a proper guard, or moves out of range, nullifying the use of guard.
Also, guard is a double edge sword. If it's a bit of a group fight, a clothie will still go down quickly if focused fired, and that strips a tank of 30-50 of their HP making them pretty ineffective.

Pros:
Great fun with little grind.
Instant PvP.
Can PvP from level 1.
RvR (keep takes, sieges etc).
Team work pays - no one man armies.
Truly casual friendly.
PQs.

Cons
Some people have issues with its looks.
Some people think it's clunky (animation, spell timers etc) - although I don't have this issue.
Whilst solo friendly, will need a group/guild to get the most out of it.
Some bugs (nothing game breaking).
Little global chat (most speak in guild/on vent.
 
I find it odd that some people are really moaning about the bugs in WAR, when the amount that still exist in WoW that have been there for years and have yet to be fixed is tremendous.

Seriously, WAR is in it's first few weeks give it time for these bugs. Mythic have been phenominal with their patches and fixes, and listening to players/fans so far.

Agreed, but for whatever reason, the WAR bugs seem to really annoy some people (going off posts in various threads here).

more whine, seriously just get a white lion and you will ALWAYS get the flag first.

btw this isnt true, With the exploit im talking about u can get there about 5 seconds before the white lion. And if you go over the lava with said exploit u can get there even faster!

Well you said it was Warhammer or back to WoW, its a little while before WoTLK is out, so why not buy Warhammer, play for the free 30 days, see if you like it. If you dont, no problem as by then WoTLK will be right around the corner.

No way to know if you will or wont like something until you try it :)

My biggest gripe is horrendous performance in RvR, the odd pause in PvE is acceptable but RvR is almost unplayable, I have no idea why because it shouldn't be that taxing on an above average system. Lowering graphics setting has no effect on the pauses during RvR, for a game that relies heavily on RvR it's incredibly frustrating.

Yeah I think they still have some optimization they need to do, for instance I took part in 2 tier 3 keep fights last night, was easily around 200 people involved in them and I didnt lag or have any particularly poor performance (even with everything maxed and AA and AF turned on) , but others in my guild are suffering from poor performance in PvP. Weird that mine should work so smooth and theirs is suffering, clearly theres an issue somewhere with some kinds of hardware or drivers or something. I just struck lucky with my system :D

My point is two fold playing the both destruction and order to the same level:

1) Playing a DE sorcerer is far safer - there's nobody that moves behind the DE line and can take a sorcerer down in 2 seconds at close range without being noticed.

2) Spending 95% of your time staring at the respawn timer and the other 3% running from the camp to the battle isn't my idea of 'fun'. Hence the archmage class is only really fun at PvE..

Just annoying.. because you rely on team work.. and I've not seen any team work on order in RvR kaine's..

I have hardly played the last week because the imbalance is not fun anymore. I play a warrior cleric so have to get into the thick of it to heal and I last seconds because of lack of support.
