Full pvp geared players are a pain in...

I am so tired of getting grouped with people who are too lazy to get pve gear and just get full pvp gear to raise their item levels so they can do HoT heroics and LFR and just bring down the effectiveness of the group to progress through the instance. I cant count the amount of times I've been in a group on my different characters and have had the tank, healer or dps been in full pvp gear and have just sucked so bad at their role.
The Tanks in pvp gear just get 1-2 shotted and we wipe, the healers in pvp gear have sucky heals and the dps in pvp gear have such a lack of effective dps that it takes way longer to bring mobs and bosses down than it should.
Regardless of why they do this its just irritating, and more often than not they have been kicked from multiple groups and cant be kicked for an insanely long time. I havent heard if they are going to fix this in MoP in some way or what, but it still sucks to experience this on my other toons who need gear.
If I can group with my friends or guildies to prevent this I do, but most of them arent on until later at night if they come on at all since most of them have lost interest in playing until MoP comes out, which happens at the end of every expansion when Blizzard announces information about the new expansion.
Who else thinks that this is a problem for the group dynamic and instance progression.
