Yeah for the most part if you are able to hit Glad on any of your toons you are a good enough player that your class and the other ppls classes do not matter. This is just like the threads where ppl complain blood dks are op in norm bgs. The different complaints ppl have in all of the pvp settings and skill lvls does do a good job to show just how hard it is to ballance things out. Say a frost mage in a bg or low lvl arenas is going to kick a lot of ppls asses, get them in a 2000+ setting and they get stripped of buffs and snares get dispelled so quickly they are almost worthless.

I feel your pain dude. I froze my subscription 5 months ago due to opness of rogues, ferals, mages and unkillable resto shamans. I don't think Blizz will change anything. MOP will definitely NOT fix it. People who claim that MOP will improve balance in PvP are either naive or simply dumb.
P.S. GW2 is around the corner.

If you are going to look at it like that there are arena maps for lvl 85, 80 and 70 so theres 15, 6 rbgs and 16 brackets of pvp lvls each with 3 to 8 maps to play. We also have pvp zones out in the world in silithus, barrens, grizzly hills, wg & tol barrad. Two of those zones have organized battles ever 2.5 hours. Sure much like looking at it this way is silly like looking at it yours but it does show that the amount of pvp options aren't nearly as bad as you are making it sound. Pvp is less about where you are fighting and more about who you are fighting the maps matter little in most place. Pve is nothing like that which is one of the many reasons they release more zones for that.

Yeah! Because killing people over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over gets never tired!
I like PvP, but it can't keep me going forever.
It is your personal opinion that PvP makes WoW better. Others say they can't stop RP'ing and that removing certain emotes or the ability to sit down or walk would completely ruin the game.
@OP: with the current system, balance will never happen. They are trying to make better progress towards PvP in MoP, but exactly what you're looking for just won't happen. Oh about the "refusing to resub" thingy ... please don't use that if you want to be taken seriously yourself. So for that matter "can I haz ur stuff?"
World of Warcraft is a video game. It's not supposed to be taken serious.
I never understood why is that after 7, almost 8 years, this game has not yet achieved the balance around 2 vs 2, not to mention 1 vs 1, the perfect class balance...
The game we play is balanced around PVE content, so every season PVP has to suffer in some way to give people their PVE balances so they don't have to cry about having X class favored over them because they simply do more damage.
It must be lonely up on that pedestal of yours.
An ultimatum-laced thread title on a fan site is a well documented avenue for change.
