Plenty of people fly under the radar. Gear doesn't mean shit though. Top 5 in your battle group and I might say I refuse to believe they click.

gear means a lot...
I could have the exact same skills as a top 5 PvPer, but if I'm rolling in with 372 heroic raid gear (ashkandi, T11.5 etc) I'll get rolled by my PvP equivalents simply because PvP gear reduces a shit ton of damage, while PvE gear is designed to make you deal out more damage.
The issue is they don't overlap, that fact Tralina can turn my 51k hits into mere 11k scratches (when she can heal for 16k) puts me at a large disadvantage. You can say skill is a factor but some of the best PvPer's are loaded with resilience, stamina, and use tank specs (blood DK anyone?) simply because they can out-live any DPS thrown at them.
But then again my major complaint about WoW PvP is it's reactionary, it's all about counters and CC, so certain specs have clear distinct advantages by having more survivability and crowd control techniques (frost mages, sub rogues, restro druids, and disc priests) making them near impossible to kill in a 1v1 situation unless major mistakes are made.
