Yet to drop one . . . . . .
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
I've so far had a pretty even variety of damage, resist and defense sets. The mez and heal sets seem to be the rarest, only have had 1 piece of mez set and 2 of panacea so far.

After personal extensive testing, they seem to be roughly equal drop rates. So far I have received a good mix of Melee/Ranged/AoE damage sets, plus Heal, Defence and Resistance sets. And a few from the Hold set.
Only one really big-ticket item (the chance for +Heal/+End one, which is currently going for around 350-400 million making it the second most expensive IO blueside after the PVP +3% Def one) which hasn't sold yet. But even discounting that, I've made roughly 1.5 billion influence in the past week from farming PvP IOs in the afternoons... it's certainly currently a nice little earner... 
And no, they drop anywhere you can PVP, including the arena. The only caveat seems to be that you need to be "in range" of normal drops on the person you're fighting (eg. a level 50 player can get them off another level 50 player, but not a level 5 player)
In terms of drop chance, expect one every 100 kills or so. After you get one you will NOT get another for at least 10 mins of game play (it's certainly time limited - closest I've seen were two drops 15 mins apart).
I was pwned 3 days ago in RV and someone thanked me for the Pancea Heal/Recharge.... so apparently it does happen.

Seriously does ANYBODY want to farm these with me? 
BTW say your in an arena match with a level 1 against a level 50 and the level 50 kills the level 1, is the recipe drop the lowest possible level or brought up to match the level 50?

I don't know for sure Damz but i would imagine it would work like Maelwys said....
CoH PvP SG = SuperUnion - Co-Leader - Union/Freedom
CoV PvP VG = Disruption - Co-Leader - Union/Freedom
Global = @Rent & @Rent.
Playgroup are all **** - Global Handle
I think Maelwys answered your question earlier

. I can see arena zones being excluded from PvP recipes very shortly, if indeed ppl begin to intensively farm them.

Considering a lot of my toons rely on defense, which was heavily nerfed after realising they had actually made it useful during I13, I can't dodge anything and im usually the one BEING farmed.
I don't see your 'average' player getting much chance at obtaining these. The majority of PvP fights are won by players loaded up on purple IO sets and these very enhancements anyway. The strong get stronger and the gap widens...

I'll be happy to say that after nearly 200 pvp kills . . . . . not a single pvp recipe. The ONLY way to obtain these as a complete set is either be mega rich or pvp non stop.
Hope they dont nerf them in arena though since some of the arena farms have turned into free for all madness which i love

well considering the devs love to nerf the good things and leave the bad things. u better get going ppl
I wonder if anyone else noticed that the damg sets seem to drop like crazy while the resist, defense and heal sets seem to almost never drop.
I got like 40 Javelin volley, Gladiator volley, gladiators strike but only 1 Gladiators armor and 1 Panacea.
Is there a different dropchance for the different sets ?
