Running around OL on the warhorse to quest was getting a bit tedious 
).
I'm wondering if anyone has some suggestions for dealing with non-melee mobs (casters in particular) to help make short/shorter work of them, particularly through the leveling process. I'm pretty comfortable with 3-4 melee mobs at once my level or +1 or so. With casters/ranged mobs, though, SoV/JoV seems to be the most effective approach, perhaps swapping out some spell damage gear for the tanking gear, without having to really go all out with an alternative suit/weapon. I'm wondering if I might do better to get a good 2H weapon and a melee dps suit to swap to when I'm taking on a non-melee mob (best alternative I can think of, even if I'm not sure it'll actually BE effective without sacrificing prot talents for ret).
It's not so much that, e.g., casters take all that long to take down; but they're prone to doing a good deal of damage on me before the fight's over, increasing my down time significantly.
Thanks in advance!
