Itemization in FFXI in unexciting

[Krindor]

Pvp gear is worthless in front lines due to the Ilvl sync, that said, since they added an extra stat to it, some i110 pvp gear is better than it's soldiery or high allagan counterpart.

Majority of the i90+ PvP gear are better than their PvE counterpart due to not having any accuracy on it, 100 accuracy turned into something else is quite big of a difference.

On topic, I agree with the OP, the effect secondary stats have here is low, even compared to WoW.
