Heroic Farming Speed question

[Mystic]

Interestingly enough I just started to time my runs to get an idea of shards per hour, blues (disenchant) per hour, epics (abyss crystals) per hour, etc.

I was primarily interested in shards per hour since 30 shards equals 2000 honor, and I wanted a comparison to honor per hour from various BGs assuming a 50/50 win/loss which is typical for Reckoning in my experience. The idea is to run heroics when we have WG for the shards, getting as much if not more honor per hour than I'd get running BGs, with the extra boon of getting enchanting mats. For AV, by the way, it has become a rush to the end fest now, and yields about 500-600 honor for alliance regardless of who wins, and it takes 6 mins. Factor in 4-6 minute queues, and the yield is around 3000 honor per hour.

Ironically, this is exactly what I get from farming shards while doing heroics, 3000 honor per hour (30 shards = 2k honor).

I run a DK/4xRet team that is stacked out in PVP gear, with the DK having two sets, one PVP and one PVE for tanking. Not sure which will show on armory if your check it as I switch all the time mixing heroics and PVP.

So, to give you details that answer your question here are my average times, since I started timing them (two days ago). All dead mobs fully looted. I will update as I run different heroics not yet listed.
