I recently went into some BGs with my Owltoids. I took a break for a couple months, and then started leveling other teams, so my druids haven't received any gear love in a long time. People in the BG complained... rightfully so IMO. I couldn't hold my own against one or two enemies with gear. I was taking up five slots and certainly not as powerful as five geared toons.

I basically learned that this late in the expansion, you need to gear up through PvE (badges) before PvP. For new teams, do as many BGs as you can while leveling so you can buy gear and hit 80 with some decent items.

For the most part I'm just waiting for the gear reset in Cata.
