Good read! Lowbie pvp-ing is great fun, despite getting 3-shotted by hunters in early brackets.

Only thing you said that I had a problem with was, "If your class is a cloth- and then leather-wearer, it will stubbornly remain mail." This reads to me like there's a class that starts off wearing cloth but then switches to leather at 40, and I'm not aware of said class. If that's not what you meant, then my apologies!

The value of the BoA caster gear cannot be understated. It works for warlocks, priests, mages, boomkin, resto druids, and elemental and resto shammies and holy pallies. That's 14 talent trees! Yeah, you might be missing out on a little bit of armor with some of those classes, but low-level pvp is about who shoots first, and preferably in the back. If that warrior or pally in full BoA gear gets up close to you, no amount of armor will save you.

Last but not least...enchant, enchant, enchant! If you armory the Hunter who just 3-shotted you, chances are he has +15 agi on his bracers, +7 stam on his boots, and +100 health on his chest, to name a few, not to mention weapon enchants and a scope on his gun. It makes a huge difference.
