WotLK Prot Warrior PVP - Could this work?

I was scanning through the latest talent tree build and I got to thinking, since the new talents make Prot more viable for levelling, could it be possible to make a viable Prot based PVP build?
http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?talent=LZVVzVZVhtrxcdi0IdsGo
(Side note, I've never really played Prot much so pardon my ignorance on a few things or if I sound a bit stupid here)
Anyway, aside from the increased DPS that some of the new talents provide, there are some awesome talents that seem like they would make a warrior so much better in PVP.
Warbringer alone, is IMO great for giving you a FREE spell interruption which generates rage, but combined with Safeguard, means you have at least 2 snare removal abilities, 3 if a party member is close.
Then of course, the improved Devastate will be doing some good damage, not sure if Sword and Board and the talents that improve Shield Slam will make it better for DPS than a dual wield...
So anyway that's what I was thinking... no idea if it's right or if it makes sense, but some feedback would be appreciated.

I was thinking about something along the same lines. The survivability and the fact that you have so many ways to escape snares looks very appealing.
Can't say anything for sure yet though, as I'm not actually on beta myself. It does look quite promising though!

I'm kinda seeing a bit more potential to the idea now. With the exception of the new WotLK BG and EotS, I can see how a Prot build would be useful.
AB - node defense, you can stay up longer whacking flag cappers til some help arrives.
AV - IF Shockwave indeed hits ALL targets in the area of effect, a well placed Shockwave could seriously mess up a group that's fighting Drek/Vann.
WSG - the snare escapes will really shine here, you can charge, intercept and intervene to escape from pursuers plus you're harder to put down.

I'm thinking any kind of PVP build will likely pull from the other trees in order to maximize the damage of Devastate & Shield Slam, similar to how our 21/5/35 build works right now (Impale, anyone?).
Something closer to
this
may work, but it would take some time to figure out which talents are better to drop.
I fully expect Shockwave to be nerfed upon L80 PVP.

I appreciate all the feedback guys, good to know I didn't just have some "crazy idea" that would've gone nowhere.
