Helm that doesn't have a specific type of armor? (Such ashttp://www.wowhead.com/item=60734/keeshans-bandana)
Don't wear anything?

for all pvp (duels or wpvp) lucky fishing hat is best, Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat or flying tiger is second.
keeshans bandana last option.
as far as i remember there is no difference between them in preset stats. keeshans bandana does not count as plate but not having any item will decrease stats.

3) For fury warrior,

or Reforged Truesilver Champion depending on your heirloom build.

4) For hunters,

spider, croco, chimeras - slow, Carrion Bird / scorpid - heal debuff , corehoud - hero , spirit beast fox - heal.

You should probably mentiont to him that you have to wear class-relevant items in instanced PvP. (so plate for warrior/paladin, leather for rogue/druid/monk, etc)

Actually what i mean is should i level jc and engineering only and ignore everything else(since i only want to do instanced pvp)?
Sorry for the misunderstood since English is not my native language.
As for the other questions thanks for answer

I do know about it, however there aren't any plate helm available for new f2p's

depends on how much you like farming things.
In anyway you wont get "best best" stats out of it as warrior.
Still not a problem which overpower cant solve however.

There is http://www.wowhead.com/item=2555/recipe-swiftness-potion
It still works in bgs. + there are some irrelevant enchants you can get with enchanting.
Nothing major or game breaking really but a time sink nonetheless.

If you are planing on sticking around with f2p for considerable amount of time it is best that you get all different items.

Level jewel crafting at first so that way when you do get the flying tiger goggles, it becomes useless (must have 100 engineering skill) as for weapons, for fury in bgs arcanite reaper is better, but for dueling, the blue bg weapons are better (especially the ones with vers and haste)

Swiftpots, like mentioned above

I have no idea if you can get this... but there is a plate helm here http://www.wowhead.com/npc=58706/gina-mudclaw
Would be worth a try. Otherwise there is some gear coming from events that might scale down for us
http://xpoff.com/threads/upcoming-scalable-events-items.71669/

3) For fury warrior,

Since there is a skill where it's damage is based on offhand weapon.

So it used to be fast off hand for iPvP. Attacks were calculated from the MH and then an OH reduction was applied (even if the attack specifically used the OH) https://xpoff.com/threads/weapons-and-how-to-swing-them-harder.69189/ See my post about Mutilate. No idea if this is still the case. If so you'll want BAR MH (always) and some fast 2her OH. BG scaling is off right now though, way off. Not seeing any stats difference while removing gear.

4) For hunters,
Which pet is good for pvp?

Not sure, I think people say spider or something that applies healing debuff. If you are BM Core Hound, Worm, or Chimera.

Fury warrior is garbage right now, you're going to be playing arms, you need to fill all your slots with plate armor, you need jewelcrafting to make 2 rings to fill your ring slots, as you play battlegrounds you'll accumulate blue/green gear to fill slots and also marks of honor which you can use to buy heirlooms, maybe helmets/shoulders if you don't have them already and you need those slots. Hunter pets are pretty homogenized now, just make sure you have one with an effect, don't get something like a bear that has no passive or special ability, hunters are so powerful right now your pet won't really make a difference though.

fury warrior is lit fym son

Ok I made it to Mudclaw, this looks doable. It will be a bit of a grind though. I would recommend getting to her first and talking with her. This will make her rep available, you'll need to grind friendly for helm. Plus you can get flight path. Get a port to Summer's Rest, set Hearth. You can cross into Valley of Four Winds at the mountains at the Tu Shen Burial Ground. Just get up close to a low one, die, fly to the top of it, rez and jump down. If you have glider you can probably make it all the way to Halfhill.

Click on your rep tab, set the star to Tillers. You get +300 rep for a dungeon. She's a sub category under Tillers so I think it will work... Grind to friendly and buy plate straw hat.

Edit: Ok the tiller rep doesn't work for her, looks like it's cooking daily avaliable at 90 http://www.wowhead.com/quest=30390/a-dish-for-gina

Yea, that helm is unavailable for us

No sir. Level JC first, because you'll need to keep engineering to use the goggles.

Don't wear anything?

Doesn't matter. Fishing hat for bragging rights? Instanced pvp calculates a base set of stats for you based on class/spec and average item level. You get a 5% (?) bonus for having your item slots filled with your class armor type (plate in your case) and since you're gonna be missing that on a warrior, it doesnt really matter what cloth helm you wear.

3) For fury warrior,
What kind of weapon do i use for offhand? Slow weapon or high ilvl ones?
Since there is a skill where it's damage is based on offhand weapon.

The heirloom axe. Both hands. You'll be fine. Also, ignore the naysayers. Fury is a blast and does considerable damage.

4) For hunters,

This is above my pay grade. But hunters are so absurd, I doubt it matters.

For some reason i remember someone saying it is actually not counting as plate when it comes to preset stats.
Could be wrong tho.

That would be crazy but we can't get anyway :-/

 

[Imnotabelf]

Not possible to get Straw Hat at this level.

LFH/Flying Tiger Goggles are both fine for head slot seeing as there is no plate helmet at the moment (better than not wearing a helmet at all though).

Bloodied Arcanite Reaper/Haunting Blade (both 3.8 speed) for Main Hand and for Off Hand I guess anything around 3.6 speed is fine.

There is a stickied guide for this haha

[Syrayeda]

7.2.5 has helms of all armor types that might scale with level from dmf. http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=151251/steel-reinforced-cage-helm not sure how they are obtained yet so not sure if they are available for f2p

 

[icehawk]

As mentioned above, F2P's cannot access the http://www.wowhead.com/item=90896/straw-hat. Though it's sold by http://www.wowhead.com/npc=58706/gina-mudclaw you need to gain rep with http://www.wowhead.com/npc=58707/old-hillpaw. We can't do the dailies as we can't pick up the items required from the piles of sand, nor I guess are we high enough level to hand it in. I tried some time back and was bitterly disappointed when I couldn't loot the sand piles

4) For hunters,
Which pet is good for pvp?

It's already been mentioned but I'd strongly suggest you keep one pet in your stables with the http://www.wowhead.com/spell=115804/mortal-wounds debuff. That is a must! At 20 you can only use Carrion Birds or Scorpids with that debuff. In healer heavy teams you'll want this pet!
The 2nd pet is really up to the player. All hunters have a slow ability so I don't see any major need for a slow debuff (though it is helpful to have the 2nd slow). If you're BM you may go for an exotic pet to get some extra fancy ability like the heal http://www.wowhead.com/spell=90361/spirit-mend, or an AOE attack for them pesky rogues and druids http://www.wowhead.com/spell=92380/froststorm-breath. The Chimera that has the http://www.wowhead.com/spell=92380/froststorm-breath also has a slow ability. It is an added bonus as many players will clear the first slow so you hit them with the 2nd.
I'd say your 2nd pet is your choice, go for coolness factor I say!
With regards to pet spec, my preference for PvP is Cunning. http://www.wowhead.com/spell=53480/roar-of-sacrifice helps mitigate damage against yourself or another party member and your pet also has it's own trinket http://www.wowhead.com/spell=53490/bullheaded.

Have fun

 

[Imnotabelf]

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=118244/lightning-paw --> great BM hunter pet that provides a self heal.

Apparently there are 2 more as well? A spirit gryphon and raptor (stormwind and orgrimmar).
