You have no clue, you never had to deal with getting your 7th implant + 1 cent commendation, making that bag useless. Now every bag gets you that much closer to fully geared. Before you could easily make it to battlemaster and never have completed a champion set. Now a full champ set on the way to battlemaster is almost certain + a cent set for your favorite companion.

Half the classes are screwed over with 300+ points of accuracy. A few classes that like alacrity and have access to it, have it a bit better, like sorc/sage lol. The pvp gear drives anyone who cares about optimization crazy! The best pvp gear is a mix of pieces from pvp, and pve, with half the mods replaced from extra pieces. Add in the fact that expertise has diminishing returns and you can see how a stright BM set is NOT the best gear for pvp.

Independent Anarchy does indeed work on shrap bomb. I have tested it and I use it in my DF build.

Just buy the entry level blue gear, oh wait BW took that out because, because.... I have no freakin clue why they took it out, more BW pvp noobness. I bought that for my sentinel the first time I hit 50, now with my gunslinger just hitting 50 I'm a bit pissed. 10% expertise and level 50 armor values really makes a huge difference. Entry level pvp gear BW, cmon this is more basic stuff that is crushing pvp in this game!

Not everyone lags, I don't I have no animation delay either... They are planning to add rated warzones for competetive pvp. Gear means ALOT especially at 50 Gear is half random drop and half commendation spending, just like pve. Open world PvP on Ilum is THE way to increase valor in order to progress to higher pvp gear tiers. Made up statistic.
