This thread needs a part 2 since we hit the cap...

The following update was provided on the PvP Discussion forum regarding experience gains in Alterac Valley, as well as all other Battlegrounds:

Q u o t e:
The reduced experience in Alterac Valley is due to the fact that Battleground experience is based off of the level of the Battleground. Characters level 70-79 are no longer getting experience based on level 80 characters. As a result of this, we are now able to do an across-the-board increase to experience gains from all Battlegrounds in order to make sure that no Battleground feels too unrewarding in terms of experience. We have also made it so the experience bonus from heirloom items works properly in Battlegrounds.

Q u o t e:
If you felt AV XP was too powerful compared to other Battlegrounds, maybe you should buff the others???
That's precisely what we've done with this new hotfix.
Q u o t e:
Please just say it: we were leveling too fast and having fun so you sent us back to grinding on boars to move up.
The experience gains in Alterac Valley were not adjusted in patch 3.2.2. The gains were percentage-based according to level brackets. Since the level brackets changed in 3.2.2, the experience gains decreased as a result. Because of this, we've added an across-the-board increase to experience gains in all Battlegrounds to compensate for the adverse affect on Alterac Valley that came as a result of the level bracket changes, as well as make gaining experience in our other Battlegrounds more viable.

Q u o t e:
What exactly was wrong with players leveling through PvP (if that is their fancy). Explain that.
Absolutely nothing. That's why we implemented experience gains in Battlegrounds in the first place. The nerf to experience gains in Alterac Valley in 3.2.2 was not intentional. It was a side effect of the level bracket change. Again, we've applied a hotfix to substantially increase experience gains across the board for all Battlegrounds. Alterac Valley experience gains should now be better than they were immediately following the patch. Experience gains in all other Battlegrounds should now be better than they ever have been.
