Once again you get it totally wrong. If valor were the most important stat then I would equip my PvP weapons, but I don't, and you know why? Because I can get by with 95 less valor. You know what I can't get by with? 1 Hit. I need a minimum of 100 Hit to be even close to effective.
For me, even 100 is too low, so I use raid obtained PvE weapons. Come 1.9 I will finally be able to use the two shivs I have gathering dust in my vault.
Hit/Focus is every bit as important as valor. If I have max valor I survive longer, but take way longer to kill anything. If I have less valor but lots of hit, I don't live as long, but I kill things lots quicker. In my experience the extra valor is nowhere near enough to let me survive long enough to kill enemies; however the extra Hit does allow me to do enough damage to kill enemies before I die.
+150 Hit is far superior to an extra 95 valor. Having both in 1.9 will be even better still.
