At least that's how I interpret GC's PvP blog.
With people pushing higher ratings though, you could see a return of rating attached to conquest gear. 2000 rating may become the new 1600 rating. They could do this to try and boost rated PvP activity. But that may just be my wishful thinking because I miss how gear worked in Wrath.
