Warhammer 2 Multiplayer Discussion

I am considering buying Warhammer 2 DoW as a game to keep me busy untill Supreme Commander 2 and Starcraft 2 come out. I am annoying that Starcraft 2 has taken so long and they just delayed it again but we don't have to go there.

Games I like : Supreme Commander Forged alliance is my fav right now. Before that I think Starcraft was one I put most hours in for RTS. I played company of heros, and its ok I still play it sometimes. But the clunky controlls and frustrating unit pathing make it not that fun for me. I also play alot of FPS, but I am having more fun with RTS. Supcom 2 is the top of my list right now.

I played warhammer 2 single player demo off steam, seems fun. But I am more interested in multiplayer, which I have heard has major balance issues. Any thoughts on that?

What are the pros and cons of Warhammer 2 multiplayer? Hows the faction balace?
