Undead in World of Warcraft PVP... Undead, while never really a fully trusted part of the horde, they are a cool class to play. Lets see their traits in PVP:

1. Will of the Forsaken (activated ability)

Activate to become immune to Fear, Sheep and Charm effects. Can also be used while already affected by Fear or Sleep, lasts 5 seconds, 2 minutes cooldown. As you can see, this is one of the most useful trait among all classes. CC (Crowd Control), along with resilience, is the one of the most important part in PVP, and being able to break/resist CC without consuming any resources it's just great. The cooldown also makes almost as impressive as the Medallion of the Horde trinket.

2. Cannibalize (activated ability)

Activate to regenerate 7% of total life every 2 seconds by consuming Humanoid or Undead corpses within 5 yards, lasts 10 sec, 2 minutes cooldown. Again, this is very useful in PVP, especially in battlegrounds where there are a lot of corpses around. Being able to regenerate 70% of your health in 10 seconds for free every 2 minutes is very nice to have.

3. Underwater Breathing (passive)

Underwater breath lasts 300% longer than normal. Completly useless in organized PVP, but can be useful in world PVP when you are either ambushing or trying to escape an enemy pursuit.

4. Shadow Resistance (passive)

All Undead get +10 Shadow resistance. While not as impressive as the first two traits described, can be useful in PVP again all shadow damage classes (priest/warlock).

Undead is a very powerful class in PVP and should be chosen over several other classes if you consider to go real WoW PVP.
