Even as a ranger I feel the pain when I PvP with my PvE spec and gear. I've lost plenty to melee as a result. Fortunately, there is hope:

Xp we definitely want to do some sort of dual-spec thing, it's just a matter of the people who will need to do that being tied up with other tasks for the time being.
Once we have this and level 50 talents it should become far easier to balance both PvE and PvP individually. HCS will have the ability to freely add/modify more talents uniquely useful to one or the other. I'd prefer they move ahead with level 50 and other improvements rather then concentrate too much effort on balancing something destined for big changes.
