They are a nice way to pad a couple points to grab a new piece "today instead of tomorrow" type thing, but instances aren't really a viable way to "farm" honor. Especially considering every2.5 hours you'd have to go win WG again just to continue farming.
Like SW says, heroic bosses drop 4 shards, not two. And it's not a matter of me winning WG in order to farm, but obviously just running heroics when your faction has WG and doing other stuff when they don't :-)

Stealthy has a good point about effiency, especially until you've ran out of stuff to spend emblems on. All in all, I think they WG when dailies are up, heroics when WG belongs to your faction and dailies/AV when it doesn't is a good route. Only problem for me is that im at about 55k honor due to honor tokens, and I have no plans to spend them until next season, so shards and WG commendations are the only real way to go for me atm.
