In addition, a rogue with warglaives in an arena setting where most everyone else has Karazhan level weapons would be a god among men.

You're right about not thinking it through entirely -- I was hoping smarter folks would pick it up and run with it.
As far as warglaives go -- if resilience reduced more damage, you would effectively turn those warglaives into S1 dps weapons...or however Blizzard wanted to balance that.
The point of what I was saying, or trying to say, is that maybe there should be a stat that affects only PvP combat and not PvE, in order to keep them separate.
For example, you could make resilience both a defensive AND offensive boost (again, only against other players). So maybe a resilience maxed player with a S4 weapon would have the same damage capability they do today, but the damage difference between the S1 player and the S4 player would be itemized in terms of "offensive" resilience, rather than standard raw stats -- making it useless for PvE advancement and ideal for PvP.
(edit) Under this system, S1 weapons would be great entry level gear for Karazhan, but S4 weapons would be sorely lacking in Black Temple.
