A buddy of mine ground out a bunch of honor at level 69 recently. I asked him about the queues and he said what we would do is be in 3 queues the whole time. He would queue for WSG and AB then AV. Usually the AV would come up first and he would go help kill Bailinda. By the time he had done this another queue was ready for him. So he was earning honor the whole time not just waiting around in Shat for AB or WSG queue to go off.
