I'm reaching this kind of point with my Warrior, and he's only 58.
Part of your problem is being on a PvE server - while you were allowed to level completely unimpeded (some fear ganking, some love it; but that's a dead horse that's been getting weekly whippings, and it's for another thread), you now have little else besides even MORE PvE content. While PvP DOES happen on PvE servers (according to posts here and elsewhere), it's not very random - most people probably don't even have their WorldDefense channel on (if there even IS one on PvE servers), meaning raids would have to be scheduled.
On Bloodscalp, I can ride over to Southshore and start killing guards, or go on a ganking-spree in Ashenvale, and assuming it's a relatively populated time, there can be a small-scale battle (anywhere between 1v3 to 14v18, I've seen) within ten or fifteen minutes. As far as I've seen, this simply isn't possible on a PvE server.
Many people think that Battlegrounds will be the be-all, end-all, but I'm not that optimistic. If instances like Zul'Farrak are anything to go by, Battlegrounds will be buggy, laggy, and probably pretty primitive for the first couple of months they're out.
Like the others suggested, I'd give a Horde character a shot. While I can't bring myself to play Alliance (they just have it too easy, and I don't much care for their backstory), I've heard there's a significant difference between the two. Maybe you'd be able to find more entertainment there. Besides, we all know Tauren are cooler than Gnomes :P
EDIT: I guess I should note that I've deactivated my account. My Warrior isn't great fun to play anymore, not at all like his thirties. At the end-game, Rogues go from too strong to utterly overpowered - especially with Crippling Poison II (30% snare? What was Blizzard smoking!?), which makes PvP kinda unbalanced.
I figure I'll take a month or two off, play some games that I've been missing (several GCN titles, like Pikmin 2 and Resident Evil 4, and the Hordes of the Underdark expansion for Neverwinter Nights; my Barbarian needs more stuff to kill), and then come back when the content patch is released (hopefully it's not more than a month or two off.)
