When my priests hit 85 I tried queuing as a team, but this late in the expansion and with limited resil (sub 1000), I just got destroyed. Instead I queued and unless it was AV/IoC, I only took one or two in. It may seem slower to gear the team this way, but if you consider that bgs usually follow a 50/50 win loss regardless of your participation, it turns out to be much faster than losing on the whole team.

In between the bgs, participate in TB and do the Grizzly Hills dailies. 250 honor of the course of the week is almost a piece of gear and is much faster than the time it take to do a battleground. I started queuing as a team when I hit 2500k resilience and was able to contribute to the game.
