Feider the current crop of PvP gear is a poor substitute for the best PvE gear available currently (except maybe the weapons) but is far and away above most of the things you can get running heroics. On top of this, you can accumulate the gear in a consistent and reliable way on all FIVE toons rather than getting to run a heroic once daily and hoping that you get the drop you want and repeating this process 4 more times. For the same reason, the only reason I run heoroics is for the 5 x emblems per boss, which allow me to slowly accumulate raid quality gear.

The non set items, neck piece, ring and cloak all have options for +hit gear. There is also the craftable stuff which is comparable to the craftable epic cloth gear, but leather. Itemisation has definitely improved a lot since the old days, so you shouldn't have any problems finding gear for your 'kin.

Cheers
