Starting to hit 80, most of us are moving towards getting great PvP gear to be competitive in the arena and have fun in Battlegrounds.
A lot of complaints have been thrown around on the forums regarding damage being too high in Wrath of the Lich King, you can be busted down without even having time to react with a trinket and this does not make for a fun PvP experience.
What is the fastest way to get the best PvP gear? Our focus for getting the best PvP gear will revolve around how good the gear is divided by the amount of effort or time required to get that gear. While Deadly Gladiator gear is the best to get, it will take a lot of rating to acquire in the arenas, which you may even need to have better PvP gear to get to the higher rating requirements.
By far, the best use of your time, you can do the 25 man version, which drops 4 of the deadly version chest, hands and legs but they are class specific, the instance also provides 2x Emblem of Valor for everyone to use to buy Hateful gear if you are unlucky with drops. The 10 man version drops 2 of the Hateful pp gear which is class specific, the instance also provides 2x Emblem of Heroism which you can buy Hero's Gear with.
Since you only get one shot at the 25 man and 10 man version a week, try to find a group where you are the only one of your class in 10 man, and only two of your class in the 25 man, it may take you a bit to find a group but it will pay off in the long run.
Now that you are getting a shot at getting the Deadly and Hateful Chest/Hands/Legs once a week, your focus should be on filling out your worst gear slots that have the lowest arena requirements and provide the highest upgrade.
As it stands, it is pretty much impossible to win while defending due to the large amounts of lag the servers experience when a lot of people are in this zone, this provides you with a large amount of bonus honor and Wintergrasp Tokens when you are attacking that can be turned in for even more honor once patch 3.0.8 comes around.
Pick up these dailies before attacking Wintergrasp: Slay them all!, Stop the Siege, Fueling the Demolishers, and Victory in Wintergrasp (last one only available if you haven't completed the daily BG quest)
Not only do these daily quests provide bonus honor and gold, but also give you Stone Keeper's Shards which are used to buy some of the best shoulder and head PvP enchants, Wintergrasp Commendation, Kharmaa's Grace, and Bind on Account gear that you can use towards gear to level your alts.
You can pick up these quests in the fortress while you control Wintergrasp, or at your sides flight path in Wintergrasp when you are attacking. Fueling the Demolishers can only be completed when a battle is not occurring and your side owns Wintergrasp.
If you have completed all of the above, the best way to grind honor is to keep on completing For Great Honor which can be done unlimited times a day. The only limitation is you need to have a token from each of those 4 Battlegrounds, do the battleground you have the least or no tokens for and keep at it until either your side is attacking wintergrasp or you have to log.
Follow this, you will be getting geared up for PvP the fastest possible and make sure that replacing the gear which provides the highest upgrade and seek out gear that has no arena requirement as early upgrades for maximum gain.
