Here is the thread for upcoming changes to PVP writs:

It will help resolve some of the issues with forced PVP in a zone due to the writ giver being there. The main thing this will do is grant you the choice to PVP in any zone without having to run back to one of these hubs to turn in your writ, thus making it a lot more convenient when hunting in any zone.
In regards to the ward, the item requires 16 (10-19), 8 (20-29) 4 (30-39) pvp writs to be completed before you can have access to it. The value of the item diminishes as you level up, since you tend to do more damage. Those that wish to remain focused on the lower level will gain a nice bonus but so will anyone else that completes the writs, it is always available on the broker for 4 tokens each item...
