If you do the collection quests to start it only takes a few days of pain to get to friendly then some of the other ones open, you can scale back and just do the easy ones and you'll eventually hit honored for even more to open up. I've been on hold at friendly because of brewfest activities.

They may be handing out drakes in Wrath but I want my black drakes so they all match not to mention an extra mount for the 50 mount acheivment, lol.
