With the end of Phase 3 fast approaching I have rescanned the US TR realms, I have ignored the 2v2 and 3v3 data as misleading/irrelevant and will just post the 3v3 chart:

US TR class performance as of 18th May 2008

US TR 3v3 - 18th May 2008

US TR 3v3 Comparison - 18th May vs 18th April
The following chart show how the class has changed since the 18th April stats, e.g. if a Class was 100% in April and it is now 150% then it will have seen a 50% gain, if it has gone from 100% to 50% Then it will be a -50% gain.

TR 3v3 Comparison - 18-Apr-2008 vs 18-May-2008
Read into the stats what you will. :)

Clearly paladins remain OP and further nerfs are warranted.

Clearly :)

On a more serious note though, a class being low representation does not necessarily mean it is underpowered, but rather that the current trends may be predominantly counter-comps and as such they get pushed right down.

That said it does look like Pallies need some help.

holy shock needs a cast time, its way to overpowered in its instant cast state.

At least double the mana cost. After all, paladins have water shield, shadowfiend and innervate to get mana back FAST. Oh wait- I think I missed something.

They could undo all the pally PVP nerfs over the last year and I doubt they'd climb a single place.  Illumination doesn't help when you've been mana burned to 0.  Nor does BoS stop counterspells from all your hardcast heals. And so on.

After seeing the trends I have devised a team that will win 90% of games.
Your 3 players will need to play a:

lock/war
hunter
druid/pal

hunt/lock/druid against RMP teams
hunt/war/pal agaisnt 2x melee.

Dodge shadow teams.
Thank me later

If you judge the data around 2k to be the most relevant set (2100 is too small a sample, though 2k might be as well), you actaully see a somewhat balanced class distribution. No, hunters and paladins don't exist, I don't know what you're talking about.

Agreed, however  I have included 2.1k in this case as it only the top few teams that get through to the next round, as such it is highly relevant even considering the small sample size.
