pve gear is for pve.
pvp gear is for pvp.

Gear accordingly.

it's a reasonable question, and it often isn't black and white about pve/pvp, mainly because you can shop for specific pvp items, but RNG can prevent you getting pve items almost indefinitely.

For the question about the moonkin set, i doubt it. You are right that you could stack hit on gems enchants and other gear, but it would limit your other gear choices quite badly. And from what i gather (depending on your haste buffs and crit % etc) you are either going to be spamming SF, or playing with Eclipse. Either way using wrath to proc fast SFs seems like it would break your rotation a bit.

I was wondering if the 4 set bonus on the blue lvl 80 PvP gear for boomkins is a decent DPS boost. Would it be comparable to some of the dungeon blues when just starting out raiding naxx? Some numbers on its DPS effects would be wonderful. Thank you.

I am not missing the point. He wants to know if the dps of a pvp set is comparable to the dps of dungeon gear pre-naxx. No they are not. pve gear is for pve and pvp gear is for pvp. Obviously, the 4 set bonus of the pvp set is design to help you get a starfire cast off in a pvp/arena setting.

It's a fun thing to have happen in a raid. I used it for a while pre-BC when the RL was not paying attention(farm bosses only) or I hit the wrong 'set' button and was forced to make due with it till wipe or victory.

But all things considered it's really not your best option out there unless gear is being ridiculously slow in coming to you. Biggest reason, it's a terrible loss in stats that you have to make up in other gear to even use the bonus successfully; hit(mostly), crit, haste, etc.

Edit: The feral PvP gear was great 'starter' tanking gear(s3 or s4 preferably) due to high stam/armor and that ridiculously awesome stat called resilience(far lower stacking needs to become crit immune, needless now)
