Just a few additional thoughts relevant to the topic-
I haven't found a time of day that I don't get in a battleground in less than a few minutes. Ques are usually almost instant on Area 52, so don't worry about it.
I can typically buy a full set of low tier bloodforged epics with the amount of gold I get from just leveling up. 500-700g is usually plenty for the cheapest epics of relevant stats. You're going to replace it very soon anyway. There are a few expensive items that I use rather than honor gear though.
You can open dual-spec for 68k honor. If you're going to spend gold or DP on anything, I'd recommend opening up spec 3 and 4 too. Experimenting and refining your builds can be a VERY significant aspect BG progression. It was for me.
Always build around your legendary mystic enchant, and epic supports. Have fun!
