The arms race destroys the PvP game. And at the same time is the way "progression" works with raids. The fact that they haven't done simple things to the BGs to help this means future itemization will only further destroy the BGs. By simple things I mean things like make sure their are even fights in AB/WSG (ie no 5 on 10s) and preventing high-level enchants on low-level items. More complex things like evening out equipment differences somehow would also be quite welcome.
I know Blizzard put a lot of thought into some aspects of the game. 1-59 seems pretty well done. They obviously had plans for the BGs long before they were implemented (ie the 4th BG portal in Aszhara), but I'm not sure if they really resolved how two separate game mechanics would interact in the same world with each other.

Personally I'd like to see the 60+ game divided into item-level-restricted sections. That way people with tier0/tier0.5 (ilvl 63ish) won't find themselves pitted against tier2 (ilvl 200 billionish.) Seems like such a rather simple solution, and it wouldn't be too hard on everyone if they implement cross-server PvP (which I've heard is rumored to be in 1.12, the PvP patch.)
