If there is not enough people per grand company it should throw you in a "Training Mode" that gives you the same amount of gear/exp/everything else, thus removing the "Lore" reason.

Due to Grand Company Restrictions, there is no way you can ever obtain the gear in a suitable time frame. The only way to get the gear is to wait till 4.0 when its so cheap you only need to do 2-3 of the new zones to get it. That is sad, we should be waiting 5 minutes to que for PvP, not 30 minutes to an hour.

If there isn't enough people participating it should throw you in with that much less people. Even if its 1v1v1.

You should not need a full raid to get it, and Grand Companies should not restrict you.

I for one, LOVE the new healer PvP gear. I am sad I will NEVER obtain it due to the way the system works currently. It needs to reward more, and the Grand Company Restriction needs removed. PERIOD.
