The only difference is, you'll pretty much have a full set of pvp gear the minute you hit 80.
So since my last post, I've been playing a lot more.
I played AV a LOT on Friday and Saturday night and got nearly 2 levels.
If you win you get almost 10% of a level.
Add to that all the honor your accumulating it really is great.

I split my time about 20% questing, 80% AV.

It's really nice to finally have an alternative to gaining XP.
The ability to have all that honor by the time you first hit 80 is a big bonus too

So I'm now a big fan of AV for gaining levels. Now that I'm up to 75 I find myself a lot less squishy than I was at level 72.
5x Mages can take out a target pretty quick. Arcane Barrage, Fire Blast, Dead. Unless geared 80's, then it takes a little bit longer
