With 3.3 scheduled for the end of July, that would seemingly coincide with the end of season five -- assuming it maintains the three month schedule that recent seasons have been running. I bring this up because I recall it being mention that season five would be followed by a preseason, presumably to debut a new tier of PvP gear and give players a chance to to gear up before the start of the next season. Is this still the plan? Is a preseason planned but only to test the waters for the new gearing mechanics?

On a side note, please, please, please consider adding objective war zones to ranked in upcoming seasons. I believe the upcoming changes have the potential to be a dramatic improvement for PvP but as long as arenas are the only form of ranked … the phrase that keeps coming to mind is "lipstick on a pig." Arenas will never be able to support ranked on their own; a year and a half of them should have made that perfectly clear.
