2.4 PvP sets: Gold and rep requirements
There's a lot to get excited about in patch 2.4, without a doubt. A lot of raiders will be looking to the Sunwell to provide new content and those addicted to daily quests will certainly find a lot to do as well. I'll certainly appreciate these things, but there was one new item that piqued my interest as an altaholic: the new blue PvP sets available from reputation vendors. While a lot of players will likely overlook or outright dismiss these new sets, they are a godsend to someone, like me, that has a ton of high-level alts. While these sets are clearly geared towards PvP, they'll definitely help fill out some of my alts' PvE sets. Additionally, they'll make good starting sets for anyone that wants to get more involved in the arena or battlegrounds.
With that in mind, I've compiled some information about the new sets in an easy-to-read format. Hopefully the information below will help you plan ahead to gear out your alts as soon as 2.4 hits the live servers. Keep in mind that this information may change while on the PTR, but I'll do my best to keep it up to date. Click the image below for a larger, easy-to-read version of the spreadsheet.
The entire set will cost around 95 gold or so. That's 20 gold each for the chest, legs and head. 15 for the shoulders and 10 for the gloves. You can check out MMO-Champion or Wowhead for more pictures and to see the stats of all these sets as well.
I know that I'm already planning on decking out my resto Shaman with some new armor when the patch comes out. How about you? Any plans to take advantage of this new gear?
Update: As far as I can tell, the reputation requirements are all now "Honored" on the PTR. I've updated the spreadsheet to reflect this.

Wow, I am actually impressed. Its not amazing PvP gear, but its better than nothing. It will help with the honor grinds and give me a little better survivability.

This will be good for my main, I raid and do not really care to BG as I get pwned since I havn't any resiliance. This might make it so I can grind out my gladiators and get into the arena on off-raid nights.

What I'm curious about ...
My rogue (formerly my main, who now is my guy I take out for a couple hours or so before raid time to fish/herb/brew/cook) has the old lv70 pvp gloves and shoulders, which have the exact same stats and equip bonuses. But much better graphics. I wonder if set bonuses would apply if I kept my old flamey shoulders? Cos that might be enough for me to take out ye olde rogue for a bit of the old pvp action.
