This is almost totally outmoded since the 2.0 patch (before the xpac) for the horde.
90% of horde puggies (those that are actively playing at least) are playing for honor, not necessarily to win. They would strongly prefer a 25min loss with most objectives taken to the 60 to 90min game you are describing. If you cap SF before IB is capped, be prepared for a ton of harsh language. If you do succeed in creating a turtle, most intelligent players will leave the BG.
As horde, 5-7 people max on defense is best for a fast win. Avoid the main body of allies, give them anything they commit 10-15 people. Focus on using the defense to wipe small groups. If they only put a few on Galvangar, wipe them. If a few try to break out and cap FW or the base objectives early, stop that. If they don't defend capping objectives, cap them back.
The other thing you can do to try and make sure that the ally towers get capped. It's a boring job, but it will slow them down substantially when they get to warmasters.
