PvP Honor and Crafted Gearing Updates in The War Within

wowhead.com:

Blizzard is making big changes to PvP in The War Within, allowing Honor to be traded between characters and introducing new crafted PvP gear that will now require honor and conquest purchased reagents instead of weekly crafting sparks, with the intent of making gearing more effort-gated and less time-gated.

• Honor can be traded across your warband.
• Crafted PvP gear recipes are purchased for a high amount of Honor, but are not BoP and can be traded or sold on the Auction House.
• Crafted PvP gear will use reagents purchased for honor and conquest, instead of weekly crafting Sparks. If you have the currency, you can craft the gear!
• Recipes are one-time purchases and will not change season to season, though you will recraft the items to increase their item level.
• Sockets can be added to PvP using the special Vicious Jeweler's Setting, purchased for Honor or Vicious Bloodstone, or obtained from match victories and certain War Mode activities.

We previously datamined the Vicious Jeweler's Setting in April, which works independently from the Jewelcrafter's Magnificent Jeweler's Setting for PvE gear. With PvP no longer part of the Great Vault reward tracks, this gives PvP players a way to add sockets to their gear, without engaging in PvE activities.

• Honor can be transferred between characters at a 80% conversion rate.

Developer’s note: Greetings folks! We would like to provide some insight as to how crafting and sockets integrate with PvP.

• To replace the removal of sockets from the Great Vault, a new item called the Vicious Jeweler’s Setting will be purchasable from a vendor at a cost of Honor and Bloodstones. This item will allow you to put a socket on any piece of PvP equipment that is eligible to have a socket, and rings and necklaces can have up to two sockets like the PvE counterpart. Note that the Jewelcrafting version of the socketer is not compatible with PvP equipment. We would like for the journey to full gems on PvP gear to be meaningful but
