Does PvP Teach You PvE Techniques?

I'm sorry for this rant, yes it stems from my mains

From my experience in all 4 aspects of group composition the answer to "Does PvP Teach You PvE Techniques?" the answer is YES. As a healer this teaches you triage and how to gauge your heals in a pinch situation. As a tank it teaches you positioning and awareness. As a melee it teaches you how to angle yourself for the best damage output as well as additional raid awareness. But where it really comes into play is when you are a ranged DPSer. This is because as you can see with the other 3 aspects it teaches you awareness, but for a ranged DPSer there is one additional point that PvP teaches you that seems to be very lacking in many of the current players.

So I say to you "Hardcore" PvE fanatics. Try a battleground or two, and see how much harder it is to just face roll through. PvP takes skill that cannot be honed in PvE content, yet every bit of experience you would receive from PvP will help you in a PvE environment.
