Well E3 is only part of the reason they've done this i'm sure. A larger and much more simple reason is: it doesn't take that many people to test PvE content. It's simply resource management. For the most part the testing of quests etc can be done internally. The stuff regarding PvE that can't be done internally doesn't require much outside testing whereas the PvP aspect and Battlegrounds is essentially ALL outside testing. Why should they spend the time and money on additional PvE test servers if they only need 1 PvE test server to get the info they need. Anything above and beyond that is a waste of resources.
On the other hand they need as many people out there testing the PvP battlegrounds as possible to get the information required. Even though these test servers give people a taste of what's coming, that's not what they are there for.
