Allow for Pre-made AV groups, and everything will even out. Pre-made will own the battleground at the start, and PuGs start to shape up and focus.

Everytime I get into AV, I can see if we are gonna win or lose within the first 5 min. How many people go on defence, do the alliance split there force in 2 or go all out on Iceblood. If few people defend, and the alliance split there force into 2 taking on iceblood as well as the graveyard and tower, we will lose. If we have a strong defence and the alliance don't split, we will win.

I would like to see the option of joining as a group (5 man), so friends could more easily play together, but I dislike re-allowing joining as a raid. There were reasons Blizz disallowed joining AV as a raid back in the day.

I agree that you can usually tell the outcome of the AV in the first 5 minutes or less. With few exceptions these days, the Alliance in my battlegroup (Nightfall) send 30+ people straight to the RH. Without a sizable Horde defense, the game is virtually over at this point. It's just a matter of how much you can cap as Horde before the Alliance kills Drek.

That being said, if you can get sufficient D and break their initial rush, it's game over for the Alliance. Some Horde will camp the IW pass and slaughter the returning Alliance offense for the rest of the game.

With the current Alliance prevailing strategy, it's come down to whether or not the Horde play defense at the RH or not.
