You do not understand arena, at all, arena revolves and thrives if the playing field is balanced.
EVERYTHING you suggested completly ruins the playing field.
You do not give the higher teams legendaries, because the lower teams will never be able to catch up, that problem was already slighty here with t2 weapons, this would make it far worse.
You do not make great gear come from another source, because thene the pvp versions will simply not be reachable if you do not get the raidgear first, this happened before and will happen again, and it's horrible for everyone involved.
I'll explain with a factual example, let's say you need 1800 rating for your arena weapon, but allong the way you meet nothing but people with raiding weapons, that are not only better thene the honor weapon, but also far better thene the 1800 weapon.There is a weapon at 2200 wich is pretty much equal to those raiding weapons. Unless ofcourse there was a legendary, thene no pvp weapon even rivaled it.
So what does this mean, now, while trying to get your 1800 weapon, let's say you're at 1650,you're not just fighting people with 1800 weapons, wich would be harsh enough, you're fighting people with weapons equal to the 2200 weapons, or worse, legendaries.
You would have to get to 2200 before you're on par, wich will not happen unless you get the raid weapons yourself, or are simply massivly more skilled.
You're at a massive disadvantage unless you raid in this case.
This scenario happened, and this isn't some obscure thing, this happened many seasons, things have FINALLY changed, pvp weapons are easy to get and are best in slot for pvp, as they should be.
