At L64....I PVP alot,not so much on the priest yet as I'm trying to get it equipped for later instances. But I am back in trying to get some BG done so i can get the equip I need. Have no resilience,hence trying to get equipped.
You may want to go ahead and level up to 69, then camp that bracket a while, playing WSG, AB and EotS exclusively. That will let you accumulate honor and marks to buy plenty of Merciless and Guardian/Vindicator's gear when you hit 70, and more importantly, it will let you enjoy yourself while you do it--you'll be competitive in those battlegrounds at that level even without a ton of Resilience, not the ***** of every 70 who's slopped their way to Vengeful gear over months of Arena. Stack plenty of stamina and +healing and you'll be fine.
In addition, or instead, you could grind your reputation up and get the blue battlegear set from the rep vendors. That's a long road, but you'll be running instances instead of battlegrounds. Underbog is a particularly good instance to run, since you'll get your Cenarion Expedition rep up and also potentially get the Alembic of Infernal Power, and extremely useful trinket for PVP priests.
On the other hand, if you don't mind being the underdog, you can level straight to 70 and jump straight into the arena. For 50g you can buy a new arena team every week and get a modest amount of arena points towards your Brutal gloves, wand and offhand while you're grinding out honor in the 70's BGs. Just be aware that you will get put in the dirt pretty fast until you get your resilience up.

My hunter twink is Sharku, 49 hunter on Garithos.
Yes, I know healing priests are vulnerable to hunters early on; without effective damage reduction and without an answer to viper sting (except for dwarves), they're much squishier than paladins, who have plate and cleanse. I also know that shadowpriests melt faces from the 49 bracket almost to endgame, as you will discover if you ever move your hunter up a bracket or two.
The best twinks know their brackets well enough to realize what is true in there is not true everywhere. Rogues don't dominate at 49 the way they do at 19. At 59 shamans are not as good at carrying a flag as they are at 29. A 70 warlock will not overshadow the field the way it did at 59, and so on.
I'm not talking down your accomplishments. What I'm trying to point out is that your experience is very limited. Priests can and do excel at PVP; it's a mistake to tell new players that they can't.
