2h wp fun?

When 10 pkt mastery spec ability like Divine Impact will be instant like other melee ability?

It's not 5ft range, thats why.

Seriously? Spamable aoe abilities w/o cd are instant, even ranged 65 ft abilities are instant and you tell me that is reason to give melee class 2 sec cast ability?

it's undefendable, spirit damage, enhanced range, immune to pushback, extremely high base damage, high scaling and applies a potent debuff.

you're meant to time it with your autoattack swing and a big followup cast like hammer of sigmar for a huge burst of damage. combined with pre-applying your armor debuff, your dot ticks and some crit "luck" simultaneously this combination can easily timestamp someone for 4-5k+ damage in a 1 gcd time frame. it requires a little finesse, attention to swing timer and effort instead of mindless spamming to get the most out of it but makes for great burst.

Interesting - could you explain in detail how this works (which abilities are involved etc.). I'm currently low level and don't know of most of these abilities, or even autoattacks or how swing timers work (should I get a swing timer addon?)

Also, is it a viable option to level as a 2h DPS WP? Will I be able to get dungeon groups as a DPS, or will I be expected to heal instead?

Dps heals usually stat hungry and shine in good gear. Not welcomed in warbands/dungeons either. Till 40 play what u want, after 40s go full heal, when u have acces to warlord gear u can go dps, but in mass rvr they not really effective, spec shines in smallcale skirmishes. For autos - yes u need addon for that. Dps wp kinda specific role, if u wanna be aoe mass murderbot better choose another class.

Thanks. I've been having a super hard time deciding what to play. I kidna wanna do dps, but I like how the WP plays (dps). Also have a WH which is probably a better choice for what I wanna do, but kinda liked the wp playstyle better tbh.

Really fun to play but no gap closer and also awful aoe, great single target dps.

Guilty Soul is broken as hell. Take advantage of it while you got it (which will probably be years). Renown Quick Escape to have a chance to catch kiters.
