I just did unrated bgs to get gear. Fully upgraded honor gear works pretty good in random bgs, and honor is easy to get. Maybe hide in epic bgs to get ilvl up a bit. Then add conquest items as you go along. Just my suggestion that worked for me, enough gear to have fun on basically.
i agree with Vaeyn, i play bgs most of the day and i’ve got full honor mixed in with conquest gear. i played a few 2v2 games to get my weapons quicker but i feel fine in bgs unless fighting someone in full duelist gear
