TUF is very close to shadowstrike or the earthshatterer, though it is probably worse then the OEB. The only other 2handers in MC are Rag drops.
TIO is very close to Drillborers. You woln't see a better shield in a 40 man instance until Chromaggus.
The offhands are at least situationally far better then anything in Ony/MC. They have less stats, but way more damage/healing.
Because when they were introduced, they were extraordinary gear. Since then they have had 1.5 tiers of raid loot, but they are still figuring out how to combine PvP and its rewards into the mix.
Yeh, they might only be Rag drops, but so what... they still drop. It's not like AV has a super-exalted status that gives a better weapon than TUF. Also, MC is the first 40 man, it just get better after that. What does PvP get?
Yeh, when they were introduced, they might have been extraordinary gear, but they were also much tougher to get, weren't they?
Why did Blizz come out with 1.5 tiers of raid gear and nothing (almost nothing with the WSG boots and some other upgrades with 1.11, but no weapons) for PvP?
TIO? It's a shield, who cares if it's good?
What about all the 1-handers? What about all the other items? 2 weeks at most of running MC with a guild that has it on farm status and you get gear more or less on par and in some cases better than GM gear, which takes months of mind-numbing play. You don't see anything wrong with that?
