I wouldn't say "more than ever before" in all fairness. I still think the 4.2 patch of cata was the worst for PVP with casters using the legendary staff in bgs, arena and rbgs. Otherwise your point is well taken and pretty dead on the money.
In World PvP the 522 (soon 530) PvE gear was already superior, according to them however the "higher dmg" and "higher healing" was supposed to offset that (guess what, it really didn't, the difference is way to massive). So where does that leave us after the most recent change? Afterall PvP geared people just lost about 1/3 of their bonus dmg and healing.
I am a hard PVP'er but I dont care much for World PVP because it's always unfairly slanted one way or another. But, the reality is, I don't see how top notch PVP gear can possibly be competitve with top notch PVE in World enviornment. With all these fucking changes, I can't see how I can possibly defend myself in full conquest gear. And why is this a problem? Dailies, all the fucking dailies I must do.
In Rated PvP this is going to make some PvE pieces especially for classes who go for resilience far more beneficial seeing how they often have more sockets and thus allow for more gems and in some other cases this will make some T-pieces for set bonuses an even better/an alternative.
Fucking awesome right!
All in all MoP PvP is going into a direction I absolutely hate. I'm playing since TBC, I've always been a PvP main/only player and ofc I loathed seeing some PvE pieces in PvP. But making them flat out better for World PvP and a real alternative/often superior in ranked PvP gets me to the point for the first time where I really don't want to play this game anymore.
