I agree, one of the big problems is the RNG, however, its also the disparity between Ilvl. Weapons for s3 are 146, while non-end boss t6 weapons are 141, meaning the s3 weapons, even with resilience weighting them down, are simply better then anything that doesn't drop off Archimonde or Illidan.
I guess they thought this would make PvP weapons superior in PvP, without ever thinking that in most cases, PvP weapons would be superior in PvE. It really annoys me every time I look around my raid and see 5-6 casters with s3 weapons because Archimonde had dropped 2 swords for us and the only other t6 caster weapon is not as good because its 141.
Also the fact that all PvP gear has near perfect stat distribution, with 4-5 stats never going above the "diminishing" point is a point of frustration, while PvE gear is weighted down with useless stats all the time, but, that is a small point in comparison to RNG and Ilvl difference.
