This is a difficult question to answer because PvP is a very general category. The best build is going
Battlegrounds
Usually the key to whether a team wins in a battleground or not is dependant on their healing. Because of this most people are going to want you to heal in battlegrounds. If that really isn’t your style,
Soloing Specs
If you are a paladin and want to be able to kill most people in a 1v1 situation, your best bet is to go with a protection/retribution mix. This will also be the preferred spec for soloing in most PvE situations as well, so it works out. go for a heavy damage and survivability build, much like a soloing spec.
 to depend on what situation you are encountering PvP. If you play on a PvP server and are concerned about surviving ganking attempts while out in the world, the best build is going to be part protection part retribution. If you are in an arena the best build is going to be a mix of holy and protection. If you are in a battleground, well, everyone is going to WANT you to heal but you may be able to do a little damage with a protection/retribution mix. Lets break it down a little bit further.

Arena Specs wow
The generally accepted “best spec” for arena Paladins is 41 holy, 20 protection. Key talents included in this build are 2/2 Stoicism, 5/5 Spiritual Focus, 5/5 Illumination, 3/3 healing light, Blessing of Kings, 3/3 Impoved Righteous Fury, as many points into Toughness as possible, and 3/3 Improved Concentration Aura.

Don’t worry you don’t have to understand this formula in order to make sense of the system. One thing to note is that once your team rating is 1500 or higher you gain WoW arena points at a faster rate than if it is below 1500.

So if you want that arena gear get your team rating over 1500. Hopefully this helped clear up a few things about the arena system and watch this space because I will be creating a WoW arena point calculator so you won’t have to wait until the end of the week to see how many points you will get!
 the World of Warcraft arena with some friends. We spent an hour and played about 12 matches yesterday. I noticed today after checking my arena points that I don’t have any points still. My Battlegrounds PvP points updated but how come my arena points did not?
Don’t worry
They also use a formula to calculate how many points you will get at the end of the week. This formula is based on the Elo ranking system used for professional chess (thanks goodness this isn’t chess…). there is nothing wrong with the WoW arena system. It actually is a quite common misconception about the World of Warcraft arena. Just think back to the times when the Honor points were calculated on a weekly basis i.e. before patch 2.0.

The same system is in play with the WoW arena. Arena points are calculated only during maintenance on Tuesday mornings, not everyday like the honor points.

How does Blizzard calculate the arena points?

Since you have done some arena matches before you probably realize the team rating that goes up if you win and down if you don’t. Anyway, WoW calculates your weekly arena points by your team rating. The higher the team rating the more points you can earn at the end of the week. Just remember also that in order to “qualify” for arena points your team has to play 10 matches and the team members have to play in at least 30% of all the team games.
WoW Arena Team Rating To Arena Points Formula
X = Team Rating; Y = Arena Points;

If X > 1500: Y = 2894/(1+259e^(-0.0025X))
Else: Y = 0.206*X+99
