It's not dead - you just need to be in the correct battlegroup:
19 - Ruin
29 - Ruin
39 - Nightfall
49 - Reckoning (I think)
59 - Ruin (I think)

ISo what I do for now is just play in the regular WSG, with experience on, I just grab the flag and farm horde kills. I afk out before a win.
This is actually becoming pretty prevalent. There are still a lot of twinks in the "regular" bg brackets, especially at lower levels.
Leveling has already been nerfed a ton, Blizz needs to seriously up xp gains in low level bgs. They must not rest until every twink likes broken and crying on the floor.

The 80 Twinking Bracket is extremely competitive. But that will be killed off when Cataclysm is released.
And replaced with the 85 twink bracket.

"Signs the pair that tried to gank you got their accounts from E-bay:
* You're a level 70 Hunter and owned them while in Beast Mastery
* They were a level 75 Resto Druid and 74 Holy Paladin. You do the math."
Love it. Love it!
Sorry, that was off-topic...
Can someone please explain to me what twinking involves? I've heard of the concept of being twinked and how it's something to do with your gear and whatnot, but I never really grasped it fully.

A twink is a character that is intentionally not leveled beyond the highest level in a battleground level bracket (most are levels 19 or 29, less so at 39, 49, etc). They then purchase (or farm with a high level character) the absolute best gear available for at that level, generally expensive as this includes very rare dungeon BoE drops. They may also have a high level friend run them through a few dungeons to get BoP gear. They then will enchant their low level gear with the most powerfully available high-level enchants.
Twinks are expensive and/or time consuming to make but because they are massively over-geared for their level and enchanted all to heck, they destroy anybody of a similar level who is just geared in whatever quest and random world drop gear they are wearing and also have massively high health for their level, making them difficult to kill.

And todays "Twinks" are not that powerful as they used to be. My Shaman on level 13 isn't exactly walking around in the best gear (most was white for level 5) and the Twinked rogue had to spend time killing me instead of oneshotting like they could do with my decently geared level 19.
So when I see a Twink in BG, I know it will take some more time to bring him down, but it dosn't feel pointless to even try like in the old days. Just yesterday a group of level 11-15 players beat up a 19 Twinked Priest. That would never happen with a "classic Twink".
In the old days, all Twinks had Engineering glasses and were the only characters with a 4 numbered health bar.

Hehehe, thank you!
ANd I'm personally glad twinking is dead. Poor babies, now you actually have to TRY.

That's interesting, maybe I'll try out the 39 bracket then, kinda curious where you get this info though.
I got my information from just a general knowledge of twinking, unfortunately the 39s, although on Nightfall still has painfully long queues at times.
My 19 on Ruin though, is doing great - fast queues, lots of arenas, etc.
