Leveling will indeed require both PvE and PvP. Once you do a certain amount of PvP you'll reach a plateau and no longer be able to level up and you'll need to do some PvE to level up again, same goes if you PvE a bunch, you'll need to do some PvP to level up again.
Since the PvP battlefields will be instanced (I think that's the general idea at least) then I'm assuming most or all of the PvE will be instanced too. They'll have PvE only battlfields, PvE/PvP battlfields with both NPCs to kill as well as enemy players possibly trying to complete the same mission you are, and PvP only battlefields.
They've said that the PvE will be no walk in the park though. I believe the general idea is that there will be swarms of hybrids comming at you and you'll only be able to hold out for so long on your own so forming groups will be a pretty basic thing.
