In AV, we only lost exp when we lost, but it takes less time to lose than it did for me grinding 50 low drop rate items off of mobs that don't reset fast enough... Also, if you are 10 boxing, and can successfully rush the end boss, you have a good shot at being able to secure a win all by yourself. I know that 5 boxing, I've turned the tides more than a few times. I was able to kill Galv along with a tank and a healer one game after what was largely a fail run, so i got my exp from that. If you can box drek/val you can likely win it for your team.
Rushing end bosses won't help anymore. They are still level 83, or maybe 82; they show as skull to my 76s. You'd have to be 79 with some great crafted and quested gear to stand a chance of taking them out and then you've likely put more time into getting the gear than it would have taken to level.

I've watched a lot of wipes on Galv and Drek so far today because most people don't have a good tank set pre 80, and they are tanking the same mobs that the 80s were. I'm trying not to be too negative about this change, but it looks like it is going to put a wrench into my plans for some additional teams.
