It may not be the "best" gear in the game, but I'm content with the bottom-rung T9 as preparation for Icecrown, and I can do so without ever even setting foot in ToC. I figured that was a bit of a different post though, and left it out (since that deals more with the problems inherent in the emblem system and not specifically related to the encounter in question). I really wish they wouldn't try to mimic an "arena-style" match in PvE content though.

This is just not the case. As you pointed out, there are several key ingredients missing from this encounter that are integral to PvP. Besides, one can l2PvP by hitting up some BGs, maybe some arena, etc. There are MANY PvP encounters in the game where one could gain experience in that type of game play. This mish-mash of PvE and PvP mechanics is not generally found elsewhere, so the only way you can get experience at this unique type of game play is by grinding your face against it. We all know how much WoW'ers like grinding...
