I have two complete sets of armor, including different weapons, rings, trinkets, and necklaces.
My PvP set is comprised of various types armor, including mail and a piece or two of leather. It also sacrifices Stamina in lieu of Strength and Agility. In group PvP, I will not live long to begin with, because once they kill my healers (and they WILL kill my healers before they even look at me), I will die very quickly indeed. Therefore, I spec to be able to the most damage possible in the shortest amount of time.
My tanking set is full plate, and sacrifices Agility for more Stamina, and places a very heavy emphasis on resistances and Defense, as well as Armor. My main hand weapon becomes a very fast weapon (Silent Fang), and my offhand weapon is replaced by a shield (Draconian Deflector or Barrier Shield, dependant on the type of mobs.)
That's not to say that I couldn't PvP well in my tanking gear (I sometimes do), but for maximum efficiency, I swap entire sets of armor. It's just like a Priest switching from Shadow gear to Holy gear.
