It would be highly unaverage to have two full AV games up at any given time. Typically, you'd be lucky to have one up at all. And even if you have one? Good luck getting in. And let's say you actually do have two games up. What happens if they're relatively evenly matched? You might not get in for hours. As Quark mentions, what cross server battlegrounds does is smooth out the chunkiness of the queue. If a WSG game is evenly matched and doesn't end for an hour and a half? Who cares? There will be dozens of others that end in 15-20 minutes and even some that end in less than 10 minutes. There will still be a queue line, but the queue will be constantly on the move. It's the chunkiness of the queue due to few or nonexistant games that is the primary cause of long queue times at the moment and not the imbalance between the different factions. The queue line will feel so much better when faction imbalance is the only limitation.
