Hell, it would be better for the game as a whole if a pve player who wants to get into pvp doesn't have to spend weeks dying in battlegrounds to become viable. And vice-versa for a pvp player to get into a raid and compete with the top contenders due to how good he is instead of being carried because of being undergeared.
Also, pve trinkets/legendaries were always op because of the burst they provided. They managed to make sure that burst became retarded WITHOUT those things with the addition of pvp power. Burst cds have always existed and making every single burst cd different for pvp and pve would hectic as hell (and definitely not something Blizzard is prone to do). What Blizzard IS likely to do is nerf pvp power or buff pvp power thus this thread.
