I put a lot of time into getting my PvP gear (mut rogue,~1140 resil) only to get pwn3d by someone decked out in their t9's? Is there something wrong here?
Shadow priest just mindblasted me for almost 8K
Bolts coming at me at about the same
Warriors wtf one hit puts me down to almost 10% health..
I'm just not understanding this? Should I pvp in my pve gear? How many people are doing this? Do need more Resil or something? Is resil broken?
/scratching my head

Anyone who knows what they are doing will be able to kill you. If a Spriest catches you before you open on them and knows what they're doing, you can give it up right there. He might have been stacking crit, who knows? Warriors, well... They crit for a lot and have a lot of health and are simply your counter class. Try opening on a clothie, THEN tell me there is no 'WTF' part of PvP. That's the problem with WoW. Counter class sees you? Goodbye in 2 seconds flat. It is too much about burning them down, less of the BC endurance. And let's be honest, if you can't hit someone or are being burned down, it is better for them to have PvE gear to burn you down.

A) Rogues are squishy because you can't hit them half the time.
B) Use your cooldowns properly.
C) If you Don't have 27k hp AP stacking, you probably are under geared.

Eh. It's also the fact that ICC gear scales absurdly, causing people to hit less like trucks and more like a freight train.
Don't worry though, if you're in arena the PvE-geared players are fewer and further between as you reach higher heights. They just simply cannot survive long enough to deal their damage (usually).
Conclusion: It honestly depends. It's a trade-off. Do you wanna deal some big numbers and try to zerg down your foe or carefully beat them through attrition and endurance?

@op, many rogues mix and match pve gear with pvp gear, a great example being Vengeful Noose (
Vengeful Noose
) instead of the wrathful belt.
See this link for Akrios's take on the topic:

I had the same thing happen to me. I was on my Lock with 900+ resl. and duel a Lock with all pve gear. He just owned me. He had 0 resl. Why dont pvpers just gem with crit? Is that what all pvp gear is about?
Must...resist....urge...to flame......

Mind Blast for 8k at 1100 resilience?
At 1100 resilience that means 8 000 / ((1 - .233297986) * (1 - .256627785)) = 14 036.4427
Would you prefer to wear no resilience and get hit for 14k? You shaved off nearly 50% of the damage with your gear.
