I'm contemplating griding honor for a month (oh god why) to get the season 1 healing set just so I don't get instagibbed in the arenas while I try to earn points for vengeful gear.

Not to totally derail the topic of this thread, but I'd like to chime in on this question.
I'm one of the ferals that does not raid high end content so must rely on badges and arena for gear. The way I handled it was to suck it up and respec like all the non-MS warriors and go PVP resto. I felt it better to invest a small amount of time derailing my pve gearing to ultimately prosper later (granted, at this time, it was before s3 came out and I was already almost full feral s2 for my pve set). I initially had my 4 piece s2 feral set and mixed and matched that with pve healing gear to get by. You really do need resilience because even at the 1500 bracket, some people are running around with Deep Thunders or s1/s2 weapons and will kick the crap out of you. Eventually, I gathered enough arena resto gear which effectively boost my +healing/regen while maintaining (or slightly increasing) my resilience. Now I'm in a great position to collect s3 feral gear to upgrade my 5 pc armor set because I have a very adequate resto pvp gear in order to properly arena with.
After awhile, for me anyway, arena really became fun as resto and it grew on me. I actually enjoy arena a lot more as resto than feral. For the feralness inside you, there's always world pvp (if you're on a pvp server) and BGs.
Hope this helps you.
For further discussion on pvp resto though, I highly suggest the
PVP forum - Resto thread to avoid getting reprimanded by the mods. =)
