0/21/40 is an extremely weak PvP spec. You lack most forms of DoT damage, all of the survivability talents, and all of the health regen talents. You are even missing the powerful PvP talents from Destruction, namely Shadowfury and Nether Protection. Most of your damage has cast times and is crit-dependent, both of which are at a disadvantage in PvP. If you truly are only interested in some of the PvP gear for use in PvE, my advice is to wait until your favorite BG weekend and farm the honor, being prepared to get stomped in certain(many) situations. Then never look back. Otherwise, you could take my course of action; I am 0/21/40 Sunday evening through Thursday night, and some form of demonology in the interim. It makes PvP far less frustrating and increases my honor gained by making the BGs much more palatable, and thus making it more likely that I won't stop in frustration after 3 games. If you arena only once a week as I generally do, it will also increase your performance there and lead to more points and more gear. With daily quests, the expense is not that devastating, and I am sitting on some 500g and no epic flying mount.

To sum up: if your spec is truly set, then simply be prepared to be at a hefty disadvantage. If you have a block of time in which you are not raiding, then I would suggest a respec to a more PvP-oriented build during that time, to something like 7/7/47 if you are really enjoying destruction.
