A casual player honestly won't find the dedication to PvP and organizing premade groups and so forth for the numerous weeks of grinding required to get the gear and a weapon like the Unstoppable Force. It really is kind of painful. The other thing to keep in mind is that it will be a few months after release (several months in fact) before the best Battlegrounds and their rewards are even in the game due to staged content introduction.

For myself, I'll take the normal casual route involving gear by joining a smaller guild and focusing on doing the usual BRD / Scholo / Dire Maul runs as well as tradeskill material farming and assisting reliable players with their grinding out Timbermaw & Thorium Brotherhood faction for exceptionally good tradeskill crafted items.

Getting full blues with a couple of lower end epic items isn't hard at all, and they carry a character pretty well. The tier 1.5 armor questline when it's put into the game is very fun and great for casuals that turn their noses up at Molten Core / Blackwing Lair / Onyxia, and Zul Gurub / Ahn Qirij 25 man raiding offers some absolutely excellent gear as well for a smaller body count requirement.

As mentioned above, PvP comes largely down to skill and having comparable gear vs what you're fighting. Having top end isn't necessary. Now, being equipped with Engineering Items and potions vs a foe that doesn't have them is a massive deal in fights. Having those items gives you an edge that can't be ignored.
