Are you kidding me?
Excuse me for being harsh, but crit below 25% is pathetic. really it is horrible and you have 14.11% how is that even possible...
Replace your resi gems with real dps gems, str&crit, str&stam and pure str gems.
Swap your resi enchants with propper PvE enchants you should notice a huge increase in survival also. though massacre would be a better enchant for PvP since its passive bonus and doesnt reduce your armor.
I would recomend using PvE epics to hide away those blue PvP gear scraps at least until you get better ones for PvP.
Your resilience is good, but the thing is you wont kill anyone with resilience. Resilience helps you to survive, but what good it does if you cant even kill a level 1 critter?

The 14.11% crit is because the char sheet on armory doesnt calculate talents.
So add another 15%(?) to that

8%...
crit on our pvp gear is just... horrible :(
I have my pvp gear gemmed and enchanted for STR/AP only, and cant really say that it works wonders.
No matter how you look at it, str/ap/crit will not help you when feared/stunned/disoriented/snared, and will not help you survive long enough while your partner/healer is cycloned/feared/stunned/disoriented/snared and cant help you deal with a rogue and a feral druid.
That's when resilience comes into play, so if it works for you, and you win, and gain rating, then its fine.
That said, your gear looks fine to me. I would only replace the berserker card (or the anvil for that matter) with platinum disks, you can macro these with your hammer of justice, or wings, or any other cooldown to get that slight AP boost when you need it the most. And ofc i dont need to tell you to replace the blue pieces with better ones because you are not clueless.

@ HeatherPoe, yeah you do sound harsh, someone comes here asking for help and you go slap him around the face a few times, not with the best of advice either...
"I would recomend using PvE epics to hide away those blue PvP gear scraps at least until you get better ones for PvP." is terribe advice, without resilience in pvp you drop like a fly, if you do roll up to pvp in full PvE gear, you will have very good damage output yes, BUT you will be a glass cannon, that is kill 1-2 people then die due to lack of resi.
Also he cant actually switch out more than 1 "blue PvP gear scrap" w/o losing losing the 4piece set bonus, which is 1 sec off judge- a huge dps boost....
"Swap your resi enchants with propper PvE enchants you should notice a huge increase in survival also." Please explain to me how swapping out resi will increase his survival?
As others have said armory is broken atm so he infact has 22% crit +3% on judged targets, not all that bad at all.....
And swapping out his PvP, survival orientated gems would mean, again, that he shift to be way more fragile.
Sure if you want insane burst and don't mind dying alot, follow that advice, but as your gear is balanced as it is, sure you can't be doing all that bad in pvp. - if you find yourself lacking burst then swap to some more DPS orientated gems/chants, you will have to balance this against lower survivabilty tho'

Ahh you wanted opinions about pure stats / ratings...
What i'm really sure about is that depends on your arena comp. If you play with a healer like i do, you can go (a little) more offensive: 700/800 resil being enough in the lower brackets. So you can go for str/crit gems / enchants.
If you play a double dps comp, you have to make sure you can survive long enough to do your tricks, so you will gear accordingly.
Admittedly, stacking STR to see alot of your damage lost on bone shields and other % effects is sort of annoying, while you get pounded to death with Sacred Shield being your one and only real defense, sometimes suck.
But, when you finally pop wings and trinket, and get a decent burst streak, you appreciate your aggressive stats.
Balance staying in the middle: if you feel you cant do enough damage, gear accordingly, if you feel your survival chances are low, do the same :)
Feel free to browse my armory for how i did setup my gear, hoping not to get caught in pve gear.
