I'll throw my hat into the "fun in AV" list.

I love playing defense on Alliance. My main is Svetok on the Ravencrest realm, and I usually charge up to SHGY and chill there, waiting for the mass of Horde to approach. Often I'll be shadowmelded behind a tree. Just waiting... waiting....

Then it's an all out sniper fest. I can usually take five or six of them down before they know what's hit them, and if I've got a healer with a mind to keep me alive I can laugh at any of the rogues/warriors who charge me. It's a BLAST and I don't need to be decked out in pvp gear. My normal raiding gear (yes, with the +hit that's completely unnecessary in pvp) suits me just fine. If they kill me? Eh, I'll just rez at SH and do it again.

I don't retake SHGY when the inevitable cap happens. But I go out of my way to be a thorn in the Horde's side and slow them down, which is something I never seem to encounter at IB or FW when I'm on offense.
