I don't see this as a bad thing. I think that if you want the PvP gear, you should be good in order to earn it. Yeah, having less crappy PvE teams that are just there for easymode epics will make it more difficult to earn them, but again, that's not a bad thing.
Personally, I'd prefer that you be required to maintain the rating in order to continue using the items, but that might be a little unfair given the differences in battlegroup compositions. Still, I think it's ludicrous that people are getting PvP weapons (and sometimes the armor, too) for PvE uses. Obviously it's fine that one is viable in the other (you see Retrinoobs and Warriors running around with Gorehowl all the time), but PvP'ing to PvE has always been a concept I've despised.
