it outdid it because r13-14 was completely bonkers in vanilla as well (but it was infinitely harder to get) AND the last raid wasnt available (naxx), thus PvE gear was a tier behind...this is NOT the case for TBC, you have resilience on PvP gear, making it pretty bad in PvE, the gear is balanced around everyone having it not just a select few on the server (so its not comparatively as crazy as marshals) and as the last point you HAVE the last raid available, where you can get much better gear than PvP (off-sets) and quite better gear in terms of the rest....So, I really dont see a reason why we shouldnt have all the PvP gear available for honor (since there is no PvP season = no AP), especially with the feedback on raids, storming through whole T4-5 content within 2 days of getting lvl 70 and going through T6 probably this week already...Even supposing that sunwell will be harder, which i highly doubt since you needed like 30k+ raid DPS on brutallus (Sunwell gear check) and that is afaik easily achievable right now in full greens+blues, PvE will still be a joke...
