PvP gear for PvE play pre-raidFollow

I don't really know these things, that's why I'm asking.

I started PvP battleground today, and was really amazed at how easy it is to gain honor (some badges are harder, because the horde side is really a lot better than the alliance side on my server, but enough about that). Getting 8k honor and about 50x badges from different BGs in 4 hours started me thinking.

Is the PvP gear much worse than the best PvE gear pre-raid for a dps Warrior? And what if you are a tank? They seem like the ultimate cross-over to me at first glance, but I don't really know these things to be honest :/

Here's my profile: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Kul+Tiras&n=Spiderpiggy

What should be my priority for dps?

I'm thinking about respeccing as a tank, so I can do heroics as nobody seems to want a dps warrior for the heroic instances, then respec back. What should I be looking at first for tanking?

Any input would be nice :)

short answer:

PvE dps - yes PvP gear is viable for PvE, though PvP gear is more suited for 2h dps than it is dw dps due to the lack of +hit on PvP gear

tanking - the +stam might help you shore up some shortcomings for stam, but otherwise most PvP gear doesn't have the avoidance and mitigation that PvE tanking gear has
