So I've been 70 for a few weeks on my feral druid, hitting instances when I can to pick up better gear. I'm to the point where I need exalted with CE (as does every feral druid) but the invites to party have pretty much dried up due to people not running non-heroics often. I can run heroics but it's a total crap-shoot and the odds are I'll end up with a bad healer or no CC in party. Been there, done that.
I've been looking into the PvP gear as it's 100% drop and I can eventually work my way there but the grind is killing me.
I've been doing PvP as long as I can stand (maybe a few hours before I'm burn out) and I've only managed to knock out 8k honor so far, not even enough for a single piece of gear.
My experience thus far is that almost nobody likes to heal in PvP. I've been throwing on my PvE healing gear (6k hp, ~850 healing) and throwing out healing all over the place and can usually manage top 3 healing, sometimes top spot by 300%. If I'm top we usually win; oddly enough as it means nobody on the other side is healing.
I also do not have an arena team because I don't want to drag someone else down with my complete lack of skill in PvP.
My questions is this - how do you manage the grind to pick up PvP gear and how long does it take you to get a piece?
