Hey guys, I hope some more advanced users can point me in the right direction. 
I really enjoy playing the hunter class (currently level 51) and I recently discovered Battlegrounds which is too much darn fun. so naturally I want my character geared for PVP action. I apologize if any of my questions are silly, but I just to be sure Im doing stuff right Im dumb right now but I'm trying my hardest to learn so I can be one of the better players. 
Anyway this may be a silly question, but in the long run is it better for hunters to wear mail or stick with leather? Cause Im able to wear mail now, but dungeons only drop plate now. So is the AH going to be my only outlet for good mail armor besides the generics you can get in the city stores?
My other question was about hunters and axes vs. Swords. Personally I love the look of axes, but I would like to learn sword weilding so Im able to be more versitle. But when it comes down to it, which is best for a hunter? Swords or axes? one-handed or two-handed? Does it even matter?
Another silly question I had was: Its deemed silly for a hunter to have in addition to a good bow, to have a 'melee' axe as well? I know hunters should focus on range attacks but I want a cool axe too But I guess I have to get them from AH less my dungeon group get butthurt for me needing on a 'pally' axe.
Eh, if Im being dumb let me know. School me, please. thanks guys!
