In all due respect, I think that was the point- to create two paths of progression.
BGs= heroics
arena = raiding
I can do heroics only marginally on my disc priest with 420 resilience. Really, I have to swap out my gear for lesser blues and chug pots all the way through. Even then, it's not always pleasant.
Some pve specs and gearsets absolutely dominate their pvp equivelants in normal bgs. For example, on my priest, I lack the longevity to be able to heal decently in AV. Sure, I can hold a flag if a shaman isn't purging me, but even then, I prefer 0/21/40 on my warlock for AV over any other spec (a raiding spec).
Please understand that I'm trying to be respectful, but I think many raiders (I did much of naxx, pre-bc) still think that for some reason, pvp is effortless and not worth rewarding. There's "no skill" to the arena (absolute BS). Well, now it is. IMO that's a good thing.
