Rating requirements are there exactly so that you need to be a somewhat skilled player to achieve high quality gear, granted you need to find a suitable partner (if your wife respecs resto, that's arguably one of the better 2v2 combs there and then, although it requires lots of skill). I really can't see how you think the system is flawed because you don't get stuff when you're simply not "winning" in the system. And what system doesn't work like this? It works exactly the same as any character advancing system I'm aware of: You get better gear meaning you advance in some way to where you'll meet more technical and stronger oponents. Gear is nice and shiny, but if you don't have to work for it, half the fun is gone because half of the advancement curve is gone. Don't take that away from the masses that actually want to have a serious go at arenas. Have you considered the arena system is entirely just too hardcore for your preference at all?
Also you might want to be careful with your claims of class viability. Every single class is vialbe in every single bracket, if you chose to play the wrong spec that's your problem, but the only thing you could argue is that you can't find a suitable partner or you're a fresh PvPer. Even in the case of gear, it's always nice to point fingers and not blaming your own lack off skill, but there's plenty players still wearing some S1 past 2k.
