Sometimes the quests are easier.

There is a quest in Hyjal called crushing the cores where you have to kill these fire elementals then smash their cores. Not only does smashing a core give credit amongst all toons, but now all toons can loot a core. So you're killing 2 instead of having to kill 8.

I know its not enough to make up for all the non-boxer friendly quests, but its fun to find quests like that.
