To me that is not out of whack at all. I don't want to be forced to PvE to PvP. The best PvP gear should come exclusively from PvP. As someone with limited time on their hands I cannot be good at both PvP and PvE. Being able to focus on one aspect of the game is a good thing for me. Imagine if downing Illidan required gear you could only get if you had a 2200 arena rating. People would be pissed. The reverse, however, was the norm until BC. That was out of whack.

I don't expect we'll see a significant buff to another tier of arena gear until Hyjal is on farm status by the average raiding guild.
