Assuming equal population spreads (which there aren't, some servers actually favor horde quite a bit), the advantage would be that things that aren't up, will be up.
So Arathi Basin, which might get one whole game a night on Stormrage, would be up 24/7. That means, instead of a 5 hour wait that might get you into AB, or if you're super-lucky a 1 hours wait that gets you in, you should have, say, a 4 hour wait that will get you into AB.
Clustured servers smooth the bumps in the queue. Less of the lucky "sweet, I joined the queue at the exact right moment!" less of the "whelp, I spent an entire night in a queue but the game never came up, another night of no <X BG> for me."

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
