To be clear, that picture was taken at last year's Blizzcon, where upon logging into the PTR, you picked race, class, and name, and from there got a character decked out in PVP gear.
Talking to a guy working there, apparently the Blizzard employee that decided the gear characters got for the Blizzcon preview is a big PVP guy.
