I just watched the video, and it seems to me like Blizzard is afraid to make the radical changes they need to take this game to the next level.
They basically say something to the effect of "in order to balance pvp, we need to take gear totally out of the equation", but then in the same breath say "but we're going to leave a little bit of the gear in there imbalance it a little bit".
Blizzard is like someone trying to quit heroin, but then taking a vicodin once a day because it's a tradition.
They need to just accept the fact that PvP and PvE need to be their own separate game modes. If they try to do things with half-measures, they'll end up with the Obama-care of PvP.
