Unfortunately you have one of two choices, predominantly. PvP gear or T2 raid gear. There is one of each for each class. You could mix a bit of city / culture gear in there but honestly, when you look at geared up 80s almost everybody looks the same. And glad to hear the expansion is bringing a lot more choice in looks. When is that slated for release? Do you guys have a rough timeframe yet?
There are some awesome choices lookswise from lower level instances. Pity wearing it gimps your character so much.

In terms of pure visual diversity as I have mentioned before, the 'social armor' option that is in the plans will address that. It has been designed and is in the coders worklist, it just hasn't got a set update schedule yet. It might make it into the 1.06 cycle, but it might not and would then come soon after that.
That system will allow players a purely visual layer of equipment that can be used for display purposes rather than stat bonuses.
We haven't discussed the release date of the expansion externally yet because we want to do some testing first and be more confident in the date when we do give it. Work is well under way and much of the content is complete, but we will announce more in terms of dates when we are closer to the time.
