If you're like me and don't like having to rely on other people to get your 
quests done then I would suggest leaving the pvp server and save yourself 
many hours of frustration.  If you like grouping for all types of quests 
(not just instances), and are already in a guild, stay.  Like some of the 
other posters said, it can be fun throwing in some pvp while grouping.  I'm 
more of the soloer type so with my orc hunter at 25 I left a pvp server 
because I was spending more time dead than alive.  It just wasn't fun 
anymore.  I would rather quest when I want to, and pvp when I want....rather 
than someone else deciding when I pvp.

Just my 1.5 cents
