People do PvP for PvE equipment. Blizzard has done much to make PvP equipment only work in PvP - such as keeping you from getting killed.
Top-tier PvPers just don't use my PvE gear. Sure, a piece here and there. And like you said, they can't just level up using all PvP gear. How is that relevant to PvEers PvPing for PvE equipment?
Because it really doesn't happen. Only the 2200 weapons are better than the weapons off the first four bosses of ICC, and to get to 2200 you have to be significantly better at PvP than most of the population. They did this
specifically to prevent people from PvPing for PvE gear. Like, this is a thing they have implemented in Wrath of the Lich King to disincentive the very thing you are saying happens all the time.
You also stated that Resto Druids are god in PvP therefore PvE Ferals wouldn't PvP for the gear. If a Feral couldn't change their spec - and they can - that might be an argument. But they can. They can even do it on the fly now, so they don't have to totally quit tanking to play Arena for a few weeks to come back and tank again.
You don't do arena for a few weeks to get a 2200 weapon unless you're really good at it. It just doesn't happen like that-2200 is the the top like 5% of PvPers. You need to have significant experience in PvP to get to that point, just like you need significant experience in PvE to get best in slot items from there.
I just brought up a couple points showing how the game isn't balanced. And your data agrees with me. Three healing classes rock in PvP. Which wasn't the case two years ago when the plate classes rocked because of damage mitigation.
The four healing classes are made to be good in PvP specifically because Blizzard wants every 3v3 and 5v5 team to have at least one healer. Healers are supposed to be present in PvP
by design. The only place pure dps comps work are in 2s, and 2s are completely ignored on purpose because balancing around them would screw up the other brackets.
The game isn't perfect, but the things you are complaining about are not at all issues, unless your issues are simply that you don't like Blizzard's design goals.
Yes, the PvP secondary trinket sucks. But I doubt you'd skip it if it were packing resilience and haste ratings instead of the stupid on-use which is too little to really matter. Just as I doubt if there weren't an upgrade to
PvP trinket you wouldn't have replaced this, either. If an on-use is that good, you'd choose it. Else you whine.
Geez.

So you're saying that if the trinket was better, and that therefore the best trinket was not available in PvE only, I would not complain? Well yeah, duh. That's kind of the point. If the trinkets were
entirely different we might use them.
I guess if feral tanks had their BiS weapon available in PvE, you wouldn't whine about it? Because that is the
only spec in the game who even get a tiny advantage from using PvP gear. No one else wants it unless they don't yet have anything better, and often they don't even use it in PvP!
