What's wrong with easily gearing up fresh/undergeared characters? Why go to the effort of speeding up leveling just to throw players into a massive gear grind before they can do anything worthwhile with their new 70?

Easily gearing up fresh/undergeared characters FOR PVE should come from backfarming (relatively) easy PvE content.
I have no problems with a Rogue's ability to buy Vindicator's Leather Bracers as an upgrade to his Of the Bandit greens after spending a whole day in AV if he's doing it to put up a better fight in the Arena, but I do take issue if it's ONLY to get a person's DPS to an acceptable level for a Kara/ZA/whatever-raid-you-need run.
Again, the
"PvP as a source of PvE gear" question is being sidestepped. Yes, it sucks to have to gear your Shaman alt because you need more Chain Heal for your Felmyst attempts, but it seems to me a PvE problem should have a PvE solution: Blow through Kara/ZA in 2 hours and give everything to the Shaman, hit up the heroics, get the badges, get the loot ... or recruit a new Shaman.
