I haven’t tried it but you might be able to preview stuff from the lockers? If you haven’t tried that, the lockers are directly to the right (kinda behind) you when you first get to the mists. It’s where you deposit PvP stuff.
Ethics is correct on where to preview. There are PVP lockers, called “Glory Lockers” on the map, if you hang a right as soon as you enter the mists and hang another right before going up the stairs to the usual glory vendors. Once there you can right click any of the armor or weapons and click preview, even if you don’t have them.
http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/55030-pvp-mystic-forge-recipes/ gives various pvp mystic forge recipes. Other than what you get out of the glory chests, this is how you can get the skins you want in pvp. You essentially craft them in pvp. According to this guide, the fire staff requires you put a dolyak token, an arcane crystal and a staff into the pvp mystic forge, and you only get it on a “crit” so as far as I can see, no guaranteed way to get it.
