As people have noted, there's not much gear in non-heroics (or at least non-heroics outside of the 4 max-level dungeons that are Utgarde Pinnacle, Occulus, Halls of Lightning or CoT, which you probably won't do until 80 anyway).
If you have the occasion, do them. It's always useful to have seen them once before you re-run them at 80. But otherwise, don't try to get a group - it's far too much time consuming, and fraught with peril.
If you are looking for PvP, then I suggest getting some crafted entry-level pvp gear. You have a blue "level 78 req" armor set, plus a couple stuff (cloak, rings, etc)

Your problem is getting weapons. There's no pvp weapon available unless you're doing Arena
and high ranked. Period. They removed previous weapons last season, instead of dropping the arena ratings. So, you will have to gear in PvE. Your best bet is to start running the Argent Crusade Tournament as soon as you hit 78 (I think it's when the first quests become available), and get their epics, or run some reput, or do Heroic dungeons to get emblems:

(you can also try to purchase weapons from a smith or the AH)
