Hey guys. I just hit 80 with a Death Knight. I'm interested in doing PvP with it more then PvE.
So, as a Death Knight that just hit 80 and has only quest item gear, what should I do? What is the first piece of gear I should buy and how should I grind the honors etc.,?
Simply put, if you just hit 80 with a character you tend to PvP with mostly, what would you do? (Would you collect badges, do Archavon runs etc)

Try getting some crafted gear first and doing either AV spamming (alliance) or going for the badges to trade in.
All i can really think of.

1. Get the level 78 blue PvP set.
2. Farm honor for non-set epics (I recommend starting with
the
trinket
.) As others have said, AV is generally best. Don't worry about the token turn-in quest; you will get more honor from AV farming. But always, of course, do the PvP daily.
3. While you are farming honor, watch the Wintergrasp timer and participate whenever possible.
4. While you are farming honor, also farm some cash, probably by doing dailies (at least the daily heroic) though you could also make it on the AH. This cash is for gems and enchants.
5. After you've filled out all your non-set epics you can start replacing the blue 78 set with epics.
6. Once you have (by that time) ~1k resilience you can start thinking about an arena team.

The 78 PvP sets are crafted items that don't cost any honor, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. The gear is not great, but it still has resilience on it, so you are better off starting with it and adding non-set pieces before you use your honor on any set pieces.
(If you aren't familiar,
this
is what I'm talking about.)

no, pvp until you have enough honor to get the chest or head peice, always buy the more ex&*!@#ve honor gesr peices first its way easier. i got my pvp set first when my death knight hit 80 because its easiest to me. do NOT get hateful gladiator stuff it is gross =P
Um...the 78 set gives 350 resilience. If you then start spending honor on non-set pieces you are adding to that "base" of 350, and so you will always have more resilience between the time you first start PvPing and the time you replace your last piece of the 78 set....
Anyway, the point is so obvious I'm not going to make it any more.
(EDIT: I could see maybe buying the headpiece first to take advantage of a meta gem, but personally my goal in PvP is always to get to ~800 resilience ASAP so I can actually stay alive.)
