Remove it from 55 period. I pug on jedi covenant and I can tell you this, if you are in min-maxed gear and a pre-made like LD50 or Uncensored goes up against your team you will get facerolled. Gear only plays a role in a match between equally skilled players. I solo queued through some horrible matches and managed to almost get min-maxed gear for my spec before 2.0. For sage heals most of it consisted of regular WH gear. Honstly the hardest thing to get was the pve armorings i needed for it because they were going for about 640k a pop. If I was a fresh 50, a week is probably all it would have taken me to obtain all the gear I needed if I would have went balls to the wall.
TL;DR
Player skill does not equal gear and obtaining bis pvp gear takes as long as you want it to take.
