While I'd prefer to get an epic frostwolf, an epic orc wolf mount is also acceptable to me.

AV rep isn't nearly as difficult as the other BGs.
You get 1 rep per kill (assuming everyone turns in the bone chips, spines and such.)... not just each kill you make, but each kill anyone from your faction makes against another player. The turn-ins give 1 rep to everyone on your faction inside the instance.
There are several (non-repeateble) quests inside the instance that give signficant rep gains. This makes it possible to go from neutral to friendly in your first match (but you need to have lots of room in your quest log, and a couple are only available outside the instance, near Tarren Mill.
BG objectives (capping GYs or taking down towers) also give quite significant rep gains, and are repeatable each new instance.
For example, I have two characters who have done some significant PvPing. Both are further into AV rep than any other BG faction, and both have only been in a half dozen AV matches at most.
Conc is a mere 1500 rep from being Honored. Even though he's been in AV maybe only 3 weekends. Yet he is Stone Guard now, and I'd guess at least 80% of the honor for that came from doing AB over and over (and over), but AB rep is still well below AV rep level.
It will still probably take longer than farming runecloth, as there are really only two weekends a month that it's up in earnest... the AV holiday weekend and the non-holiday weekend. Getting rep via runecloth turn-ins can be done as quickly as you can buyout runecloth on the AH.
