Epic pvp gear delay

So the epic pvp set is delayed until AQ40 release in March. Nothing to spend our honor on until then. We are forced to pvp in pve gear. Why?
Dev minds be like:

Using pve gear in pvp = good
Using pvp gear in pve = bad

More disturbing fact for me is that the PvP weapons are coming. I have nothing against PvP weapons that have stats, I have problem with transmog. In the past, these weapons could be aquired by small minority of R14 players, these were very well looking weapons.
Turtle WoW changed it and it brought negative feedback on their forums, I remember it well. People were crying that a casual could buy whole PvP transmog by reaching R10.
Back to main topic, I think there is a reason they delay it. If I remember correctly, second tier of PvP gear was very strong like BWL gear with additional Stamina. If whole gear were purchasable as soon as BWL releases, raiders would buy BWL-level PvP gear on day 1, gear stronger than anything else obtainable now. By the way, is this gear in database somewhere?

PvP gear has no hit rating. I repeat, PVP GEAR HAS ZERO HIT RATING ATM. New gear is gonna have MAYBE 1 or 2 hit rating so how is it going to outperform PVE gear? Also, if you don't even know what the new gear looks like, why are you saying its going to outperform it? Like, your last sentence is basically "But bro its gonna outperform the pve gear, by the way does any of you have maybe screenshot of the new gear?" Are you for real? Why are all of you mentally ill people coming here and saying dumbest takes possible? And why are you all dumb as fuck? This is Yshaarj PVP REALM subsection, go to your own subsection and write there. I played with this new gear on tel abim and know its not going to outperform it in raids because it has no hit chance on it.

Not every piece of gear needs hit. For example the spec I play (Disc Priest) relies mainly on stacking crit in PvE. In my case I don't need to be hit capped because crit is worth more. Also, you are probably thinking from melee perspective, spell hit isn't as much important for casters as for melees and you can get some from rings/trinkets/neck and talents of course.

Why do you pretend Turtle WoW didn't happen? This gear was obtainable on Turtle WoW and I DO remember it was strong - I only don't know the details. Also, I don't take for granted the PvP gear will outperform BWL gear, I only suppose it might be a thing at least on day 1 when everyone has MC/ZG/K10 gear - PvPers would buy PvP gear on day 1 if they had enough honor.

This subsection is named "PvP", not "PvP Realm" nor "Yshaarj".

I know. Nevertheless, I will keep posting all PvP topics here - doesn't matter what realm - until they explicitly change the names of these categories.

I cannot understand why a set of items for PvP is not being released.
