I can see that you have an Armory profile, and yet I'm not convinced that you're playing the same game I am with comments like this.

Players and guilds would understand that yes, Blizzard does in fact want you to make a decision on your spec and live by it, rather than the half-condoning of multiple respecs that we have right now
You must have missed the statements by Blizzard that they want players to be participating in both areas of the game. Remember the PvP cloaks purchased from badges and the PvP gear from rep vendors?

Of course, in order for the second option to be viable, Blizzard needs to make talent trees more versatile in their ability to mix PvP and PvE.
It's a difficult balancing act, and it's one that they don't seem particularly interested in pursuing, given that they've stuck a "PvP tree" into every class that they couldn't figure out enough distinct specs for. Even if they did intend to make every spec viable, it would be a laborious process, and many just wouldn't be even at the end of it. Hell, as far as I know the entire rogue class is fairly unpopular in Arenas, and they've arguably got two PvP talent trees. So what makes you think there's even a shade of hope that they'll make progress in making every class/spec combination viable?

And all of this talk about rolling alts to PvP with is just hilarious. There's nothing like doing everything TWICE, and further eroding any sense of attachment you have to your character.
