Battlegrounds are going to be harder at 80 for the simple fact that you'll be a fresh 80 and most other players will have had time to gear up in either pve or pvp.
All you can do to handle it is gear up as fast as you can once you roll 80.
Saving up honor for a pvp piece or two can help, of course, but I'd suggest just rolling 80 and doing what you can to gear up.

From my experiences you get honor faster at 80 then 79 due to the fact you not getting much honor for killing 71's and such. But I also found that my Battlegroup won more in the 70's bracket (only did AV) oppose to the 80 so it almost evened itself out.
My advise would be of you are not in a hurry to get to 80 then get honor capped prior to hitting 80 and you'll be able to get a couple pieces to start off when you ding.

I sugggest you stay at 79 and PvP for a while because when you are 79 you can kill the 70s in a matter of seconds and after you have about
200k
honor you can get lvl80 epics and join 80 bgs and you won't suck as much.
lolwut?

Yes but you can buy the pieces before dinging 80.

after you have about 200k honor.
That is impossible. Honor Caps at 75K.

A key difference is that before level 80, you can't use the Random Battleground system. So, at level 80, if you que for Random BG's, 1) you'll get much more honor, even if you lose every battle.
are level 80 bgs MUCH harder than the 79 bracket?
No. They are not MUCH harder. 2) A few new class spells here and there, but for the most part, the playstyle of 79 to 80 is the same. Gear? Yes, some people will ridiculously outgear you, high-rated Arena players doing their daily. But for the most part, the people in BG's are grinding honor to gear up too. Most players in BG's are undergeared, so don't worry about getting owned.
Imho, go ahead and level to 80, 1) so you can get more honor, so you can gear up faster, and 2) so you can start practicing with better competition and new spells, so you get better.
