1.) Queue into a specific scenario called arena of annihilation. You probably have a crappy leveling weapon, the quest reward for this scenario is a 450 ilvl weapon. It takes about 15 minutes tops.
2.) Follow the timeless isle questline to the timeless isle. Literally walk around the island and pick up ilvl 496 pve gear off the ground. Follow some groups around to kill rare mobs. Do not kill a celestial yet.
3.) While looting boxes and rare mobs on the timeless isle you probably have a decent set of 496 gear and at least 50 coins. Go back to summer's rest and do the quest to get 3 warforged seals.
4.) Go back to the timeless isle and kill a celestial and use a warforged seal for an extra roll. Most likely you will get gold, but you could get some 522 pvp gear or some 553 pve gear.
5.) Queue into Random BGs, and while you are doing this keep an eye out for tol barad and wintergrasp. It is old content but tol barad has a weekly quest for 300 honor, and a win gives you 500 honor. Wintergrasp gives you roughly 400 honor a win and has weekly quests as well for around another 200 honor.
6.) If you are alliance, direct queue into AV. If you are horde, don't put AV on your ignore list because even though you lose the games are fast and the honor is good. Traditionally you should blacklist Isle and which ever other one you don't like.
7.) Grind out 7250 honor to purchase your 498 ilvl weapon. On your way there use excess honor to fill in gear gaps from your missing 496 pieces from timeless isle. Try to go for set pieces first.
8.) Once you have your 498 weapon, time to go into arena and get capped. Find someone in trade to do 2s with, but be upfront that you don't have gear. Do double DPS only. Don't get frustrated at losses, you want fast games because all you care about is points.
9.) Continue BGS until you have full 496 pvp gear and continue arena capping.
10.) congratulations, you dinged 90 and got a full set of 496 gear and a piece or two of 522 gear in less than a week.
