I can't talk for your server, but on Stormscale PvP moves to AB after the 20-29 bracket, and then AV at the 50-59 bracket. The rep rewards from AV are just too tempting for many people, particularly for melee toons. (I guess the rep rewards from AB are pretty tempting for caster classes as well.)

I would imagine that a lot of people also see the level 60 prize just in reach and decide to power up through those levels to get there. There's also a lot of instances in that range where you can start getting good loot, so people might skip the battleground grind and PvE a bit.
