In general, yes it is a ginourmus time sink. A "standard" MMORPG usually features a few, from what I've heard. It's one of the reasons you can spend so much more time at 60 then going 1-60. Keep hitting that feeder bar.
CC is a little tougher then Zandalar, because the epic set item is at exaulted. You can a field duty epic at revered, and another at exaulted.
BoN has a 5 piece armor set starting at neutral. It requires BoP drops from the dungeon(AQ40), same as CC and ZG. I'm not sure if the idols and scarabs needed drop in AQ40, or just AQ20. If your guild is capable of doing the Broodlord, you can get rep by grinding the hive bugs in silithus. You will need to kill a pretty high amount of bugs to get the field duty items anyways.
ZG has sweet shoulder enchants at exaulted. Them and AD are the only shoulder enchants currently in game. There is no "outside" way to earn ZG rep, however much of the trash can safely be handled with groups of 5-10. They drop coins and bijous which can either be used for repeatable rep quests, or to complete the set items. Most guilds I know take all of the items dropped during guild runs to give to players completing set items. However items dropped during small group rep farming are usually split amongst the farmers, to earn a decent rep/hr.
For the dungeon based factions, you will have most of the rep you need just by doing all of the quests and running the dungeon enough to get all the drops you want. If you decide you want the rep rewards, but want to skip some of the dungeon running (by skipping your D1/D2 sets say), you may need to supplement your rep with the outside activities (pages/stones/bugs).
