It's a true test of skill against thinking, unpredictable opponents, and a welcome breath of fresh air after hours of questing and grinding. But I don't recommend it on PvP servers - the "courageous" people there are 90% gankers or zergs. At least on PvE you can have some control over what kind of situations you get yourself into, and then get out of them once you've had enough.
I try to PvP at least an hour a night to stay sharp - but I've had enough poor and cowardly experiences over on the PvP servers that I've given those characters up entirely. The only *real* fair, challenging, interesting fights I've gotten into have all been on the PvE servers.

I've been ganked three times since I hit Lv.38, and I'm Lv.53 now. I'm sure that being on a low-pop server has something to do with that, but ganking - just like "Warriors are gimped" - is absurdly exaggerated. Personally, I would never move from low-pop Bloodscalp - the Horde is very well-organized, resources are plentiful, and ganking is mostly nonexistent.
And the answer to ganking?
Get your corpse, and get even.
EDIT: If you want a "fair, challenging, interesting" fight, start a duel. On PvP servers, you MUST be red=dead (you're a ganker if you attack grays without provocation; greens or higher are fair game), or you will have a horrible time. Half the fun of "ganking" is having an entire zone chase you around as you pick off stragglers. I have more fun doing that (hunter or hunted) than I've ever had dueling members of either side.
