Nah man -- pvp is a whole different beast for gemming and stuff. I wouldn't worry about it at this time to close to cataclysm. Just keep focusing on getting your toons up like you are. There is nothing that will significantly assist you in pvp for fears and howls.

You can keep the neck, just replace it with the 23 conquest badge one. Replace the shoulders after that -- and then the gloves with the t9. You will be good 2 go then.
