Hopefully you are still checking this. There has been a question that I have wanted answered for a while about this subject. Why is it that you always roll out PvP healing gear much later then damage gear?
You have done it every time.

Q u o t e:
Don't worry, I'll get my "very small predecided core group" to police it!
Sucks. :( So hey since I momentarily have your attention and am unlikely to ever attend a Blizzcon, let me just throw caution to the wind and make a request.
Please focus a bit more on casual design, and a bit less on hardcore!
Very simple. Sincere request. I doubt I'm the only player who often gets totally lost reading through patch notes about all this really high end gear and dungeon content that I will never see. I watch Blizzcon or I see people talking about it and I hear quotes thrown around like "don't worry, no welfare epics" and similar comments from Blizz devs and it's like "huh? Are they smoking something? Casuals probably don't touch 10% of what Blizz spends 70% of its dev time for patches on, yet numerically we're a tentative large majority.

that is what i asked a few posts up...I really hope we get a response.
healing gear always comes later after being begged for. it always seems to be an afterthought, dating back to the days of holy priests running around in R14 gear with a staff/gear that is 100% designed for damage...just so they could have the survivability stats.
and many other examples.
don't get me wrong, i'm glad they are finally adding a cloak.
...but why do i always have to say "finally" when healing items are added -- items that damage classes have had equivalents for the entire time?
How about some MP5? As it stands, once they run you OOM, it's gg. I notice the cloth healing pieces have spirit...what about the Shaman? Maybe some mp5 on the mail healing?

Early on we had a philosophy that we wouldn't put tanking gear or full sets of healing gear on the pvp vendors since at the time there were concerns that players would feel like it was advantageous to pvp in order to get gear to beat raid content.
Turns out that philosophy mostly sucked (although we're holding onto the no-tanking gear part of it), so we fully itemize for healing in PvP gear now and rely on resilience to make it pvp-specific enough that it won't be considered ultimate raid gear.
