They have changed AV a lot, but this is my thoughts. You get like 5/4ths of a tower for a boss kill. You could get 2-4 towers down. You get honor based on how many of your own towers you still have up. So it seems like you get crappy honor/exp for just 40 man rushing the final boss even if you could do it. You would get more out of the BG if you actually did the objectives. Hmmm, wonder why they made it that way.... And you want to rush to kill the boss without making sure the other stuff doesn't get back capped why? To show off? It can't be to help out, cause in my battlegroup, no one defends stuff (even stuff they try to cap) and it lots of times, it gets taken back. So you end up pushing hard, getting to the end and only burning 1 tower and you have a GY near the end, but that is it. You then have to convince 12 year olds to go back and get stuff and hold it, when they didn't want to do that in the first place. And then you lose. Seems like rushing didn't help a whole hell of a lot. If you took your time, you could get most of their stuff burned and still hold some of yours. So which is it, helping or just showing off?
