I know that, but I don't want to buy like deadly chest and then get relentless chest in a day.
I dont mean to sound harsh, but, if you cant figure out which piece to replace odds are you most likely arent going to see Relentless gear. It takes weeks to get Relentless items with the exception of the off pieces (boots, belt, bracers)
Do whatevers the biggest upgrade NOW. will make it that much easier to get the better pieces later. Focus on your needs, which in reality is just about everything.
The deadly gear is easy to get. Get it. Its the gear most people not fortunate enough to have a high rated team with full furious are using.

But relentless is in like the low 1000 ratings. I don't know how the ratings work in WOTLK now, but 1000 seems average. 1300-1500 seems to be the harder range.
the first relentless set piece is gloves, obtainable at 1400 rating with
1300 arena points
.
At a 1400 rating it will take you 5 weeks to buy that 1 piece of gear.
Just sayin.
If youre focusing on not replacing anything till Relentless youre gonna be waiting a very long time. Id be surprised if you break 1200 in that gear unless you have a Gladiator partner to carry you. Get the Deadly gear then work on the relentless gear. Start farming honor my friend its gonna be a long up hill battle for awhile.

Here's the thing about PvP - you have to have rating to get gear, and you have to have gear to get rating. Now, it's possible to get lesser gear with no rating; and its probable to get lesser rating with no gear. Thus, since you have no rating, you get the lesser gear, then you are able to get better rating at which point you get better gear.
It's a more in-depth process than "In X time, get lesser gear, in Y time get better gear." It's more like "In X time get lesser gear so that its possible to get better gear in Y time." Until you are capable of a good rating (which requires good gear - if you dont have the survivability or the heals to stay alive, you wont win, and sometimes it simply boils down to gear) you will not be getting Best-in-Slot pieces. So until you have that gear, all Arena will do for you is give you some points to use - its not going to give you much extra opportunity in terms of getting
better
gear than you could with honor.
My advice is farm BGs and Wintergrasp to get all the gear you can with honor. Get the 4-piece bonus (gloves first, they have a special bonus on them) and get the Wintergrasp legs (so the 4-piece is gloves, chest, helm, shoulder) and then start going for off-set pieces. You're likely to get furious ring and wintergrasp ring, and then 2 trinkets from wintergrasp. Your weapon, until you can get relentless, will have to come from PvE - one of the biggest design flaws of PvP right now. However, your weapon gives the most SP of any piece of gear, so I'd recommend trying to upgrade that as well.
Right now, all arenas will be for you is practice. Dont rely on getting a 2k+ rating in your gear. Getting rating requires winning a lot of arenas - which means a lot of time, skill, and gear. You don't have the gear, I dont know about your time, but you sound fairly inexperienced which means you're not likely to have the skill right now (not trying to be rude, just honest). But even though you're likely to get destroyed - do arenas so you can get the practice. Just dont do too many, since you dont get honor from them - BGs are still your friend for gear.
