That global bonus is in effect in PvE as well as PvP.
It's the set bonuses you have to be careful with. Each set bonus (for 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 pieces) actually grants two bonuses. One is only effective in PvP, but the other is effective in PvE and PvP.
Where to now?

Yes and No
The +3% defense does in fact apply while in PvE but since there is no way to be aggressively TPed in PvE ... no villain group has a TP foe power this aspect does not apply.
There are much cheaper ways to gain +3% defense so unless your going for a truly maxed out build and cost is not in issue or your really do PvP the cost of this IO is excessive.

Thanks guys for the info. Yeah, I was really interested in the defensive part of the IO, so I'll have to look into the pricing and prob start farming some influence

You can't buy one for any less than 2 billion influence, and since there are so many bids placed and so few that actually hit the market you will be waiting for a LONG time even after you build up the influence.
You have 2 options to get one within the next couple months:
A) Find one OFF the market you can buy from someone (this will cost you MORE than 2 billion, in all likelyhood). Your odds of finding one you can afford are probably pretty slim if you haven't already been farming influence or playing the market.
B) Run Tip missions and hoard your Alignment merits. You can buy one direct from the A merit box in Fort Trident/The Crucible. It will cost you a crap ton (30 or more A merits) but it's guaranteed to get you what you want.
In my opinion, 3% additional defense is not worth going through all that crap to get, but if it's worth it to you there are ways you can get it. That particular IO is kind of like having a solid gold toilet in your house, doesn't really do much but give you bragging rights for having it.

What's the drop rate for these in PVP? Is it as atrocious as I'd expect, or is a dual box solution worth it here?

It's as atrocious as you'd expect. Thus why they're going for upwards of 2 billion inf.

Does Gladiator's Armor Tp Protect and +3% def (all) have any effect in pve? Or does the bonus only apply to PvP? Sorry if its a dumb question, been away for awhile and was never great with these set bonuses.
