The irony, of course, is that the melees you see in AB/EoTS/WSG don't actually benefit from much of that scaling in their season 2 gear so they're still getting smacked around by equivalent casters.
My experience in ~30 games of 5v5 last night was similar to what others have posted. We probably saw 10 unique teams and we played half a dozen games each against the same two teams.

Maybe it is just my battlegroup, but along with the fact that I am usually the only mage in every BG save for AV, when there might be two, but the thing that really surprises me is that the level of play seems to have declined in the past couple of months. People are more clueless than ever, and I did 6 AB's yesterday, and in each one 13 of the 15 people had under 8k hp.
I don't know if serious pvper's have everything they want and all the honor they need, or if people are gearing up their second or third alt, or if people just no longer have much interest in BG, but the entire experience in battlegrounds is the worst I have ever experienced in the three years I have been playing. Add to it the earlier observation that you spend every BG as a cloth with 2 hunter pets and 3 rogues on you the whole time, and you can imagine how much fun the game has become.
