When we were first getting into raiding as a guild, and to some extent with newer raiders now, I certainly noticed that it was the good PVP'ers that had the keyboard bindings, mouse movement skills, and awareness to really shine in our raids.
These days, I'm guessing that there are a lot more interesting 5-man heroic encounters to help reinforce good practices as well (by design).
Excellent point about mixing the two because raid opportunities are much more limited than arena play and battleground play. I was trying to think of a good explanation for why comingling the two is useful, assuming you enjoy both.
In my case, I learned to PVP on my level 60 rogue, my original main, and because of that went to a combination of mouse movement and hotkeys easily strikable with my left hand in normal typing position and my right hand never leaving the mouse that has translated very well across changing mains to a warlock, and now a prot paladin in a raid setting. (I was a dagger rogue, and mouse movement is the fastest way to turn, which was quite important to get behind folks when you couldn't stun them first).
PVP battleground play is a great place to learn to tab target effectively as well, if you ever have trouble finding a desired target when your screen is crowded and mouse clicking with the "v" key options turned on isn't quite cutting it.
