I think he was being ironical
I play with wolves gear in pvp on my HoX mainly because it looks cooler than pink BB gear. But also because as avatar hox you play a lot with combos. So the little extra health is sometimes the only think allowing you to land "safely" (in HoX language that means with more than 10% hp) a long combo.
I don't have BB gear though so can't compare both in PvP
