You're missing the point...there is no visibility into how many instances particular battleground are running now. Previously you could use that info to estimate how long the queue would be. For me, this would be determining factor in what I would do with my toons next.

Take AV for example - many active instances would mean a short queue time, so I'm not going to jump into a heroic with my team, or even queue up at all if WG is in 10 minutes. Conversely, if there are only 1 or 2 instances running, I know the queue time will be long, so I might go and run dailies, or not bother queuing and do something on a different team.

I think random BG's are a good idea, and of course I like the extra honor. However I like being able to make an informed decision as well. The implementation needs a bit of tweaking...
