It is as we feared

simple fix: make it so they have no secondary stats and put in a second vendor which sells “affixes” that apply their respective stat combination, so it would be like…

  1. buy pvp gear with no secondary stats

  2. get (or buy) a scroll that has an affix on it, that would work like an enchant scroll, for example:

…Of the Aurora: haste/versatility
…Of the Peerless: crit/mastery
…Of the Quickblade: crit/versatility

and then change prices to reflect the new affix scrolls, so it would look something like:

iteration 1:

2h weapon with crit/vers
1750 conquest

iteration 2:

2h weapon with no stats
1550 conquest

affix scroll of your choice
200 conquest

=1750 conquest in total still.

this change would not only get rid of a “vendor bloat” argument (no 8 items for each stat combo leading to 80 pages of gear) but also allow you to control what stats you would be getting.
