I feel that there should be a little bit of everything in the game. There should be viable progressions for all types of gameplay: raiding, 5-man/solo, and pvp. Raiders should get primarily purples, with a sprinkling of legendaries and an extremely rare artifact. 5-man should be a step below with primarily blues, with some purples, and an extremely rare artifact. Solo again should be a step below, primarily greens with some (though this should be a bit more than the second level of the other two) blues, and a rare purple. Pvp is the tough part, in that it's harder to gauge the "effort" compared to the others. 20-man also is a bit harder, but it should probably be somewhere in between 5-man and 40-man stuff, half and half blues and purples with some rare better purples and possibly a legendary.
In all truth I feel that a lot of the complaint would be solved if there were dungeons and content currently in the game that led to higher ilevel greens and blues. Green and blue progression stops at ilevel 65 primarily for solo and 5-man, continuing for some 20-man stuff. 1-59 has a normal spread of green, blue, and purple and the gear gap really doesn't exist there, but at 60, since two levels of items disappear, the gear gap suddenly becomes a big deal.
