2) Look at the right side if this image.  Also this set, with unknown bonuses.

Hehe, I saw that posted on the official boards about ten minutes after I made my last post. Very nice. :)

3) Stop looking to gear that drops in high end PVE encounters for your PvP gear.  I wear blue pants over my tier 1 ones for PvP/melee stuff.

The problem here is that some classes DO get acceptable PvP gear through high end PvE. Giantstalker, for example, gives alright hp, 4% crit (before agility is factored in) and a nice load of agility. Even Earthfury, which has no strength or agility on it (poor enhancement shammies) still has 2% to crit with spells. (It also has a small amount of spell damage - 27 - but I don't think that's a significant figure in this picture.) Those classes whose PvE role doesn't mesh so well with PvP were behind the eight ball in this, as they were forced to use lower ivalued items.

But I don't that that what the real issue is. The problem seems to be that certain class builds have seen very little to no itemization from high end PvE, with every decent bit of gear for them either dropping in DM/BRS/Strat/Scholo etc or not dropping at all.

Happily enough, it looks as though Bliz is trying to address this through the loot tables in AQ. :-)
