Choose-Your-Team PvP

I just had an idea and I think it would be cool if there was a three team PvP battleground.
Some Details:
Ok so picture you walk towards a castle and there's a dragon waiting for you...
You talk to him and he gives you three choices;
1. Team
2. Team
3. Team
On the top of your UI there will be a display of the number of players per team
(Which team you can choose will probably be limited by a maximum difference in players)
NOTE: Keep in mind you can team up with horde too...
NOTE: You can join as a party.
So then, when you choose a color you will receive a flag on your back of that color and a flare in your bags. When you use the flare, a drake (Or something like that) of your teams color will pick you up (This part is very similar to The Oculus) then he will fly on a set path towards your base.
NOTE: The enemies cannot camp your base because;
1. There are multiple entrances
2. There are barriers similar to the ones in Dalaran keeping them out while you are safely tucked behind the barrier, out of sight from any entrance, upon landing.
Inside the room you are dropped in by the dragon, there will also be;
- A graveyard for spawning in
- A NPC to teleport you outside when you are done PvPing
- *Perhaps some feasts (Permanently there)
- *Mage table (Permanently there)
- *And other things of that nature
There is NO primary objective!
It NEVER times out!
But there are secondary objectives;
Every hour a timer will be reset which will count the number of teams kills for a whole hour
The team with the most kills will receive major bonus honor.
NOTE: None of this will interrupt battle.
In addition, honor bonuses will be given to players who turn in repeatable quests like the ones in Alterac Valley, for picking certain things off the ground, stealing enemy insignia's, and possibly taking an object near the enemies base. (For a whole-team honor bonus)
Tell me what you think guys! :P

Personally, this is not a bad idea. But the problem I see is that you are not displaying your setting. When I started reading the post, I thought it was gonna be a small map in the beginning, but the whole "multiple entrances", "barriers" and "tables" (because it would take some time to actually benefit from the table) I figured it as a bigger map. If you make a counter-post, you should include something like that.
Also, I noticed that you mainly introduced newer things. Whereas this isn't a bad thing for simply thinking of things to put
IN
things to an old battleground, but you were thinking of making a whole new battleground. In a new battleground, you still got to take what is good from the old ones, and mash it together with newer ideas.
In example of what I have said, mention the setting. If you wish of something to work off of, make a volcanoe-themed map. Maybe have an eruption every now and then, or a natural disaster of sorts. Add some rivers with very few bridge sections (like twin peaks, I believe, to show my 2nd topic) to hinder the movement of one side to another, creating a
choke point,
a very valuable thing. But, since you wish to include new things to BGs, perhaps make it lava, to not only fit into the theme, but to also enhance the choke point. Or add your own ideas, which is what I want you to do! I was just giving an example, but feel free to build off of it.
(Yes, this may be very confusing, but it is what is required to make a top-quality and actually worthwhile playing field.)
All criticism aside, this is not a bad idea of yours, probably better than any ideas I have had, or close to it. Just take my, and others, advice, and you may be the first to say, "I helped create this battleground!"

I also thought of something... Even though I don't play it anymore, I remember in Runescape, a thing called Castle Wars, and my idea is quite similar.

I do like the idea of an infinitely timed battleground that you can come and go to as you please, but at the same time, wouldn't this make honor farming super easy? And would this BG be rampant with AFKers?
make an internal timer so there will be something to it, say like do x damage every ten minutes or so, this will stop afk'ers. also make a limit of how many times a week you can go in, so like 7 times (one a day) that way it cant be a farm, as you will always need to be doing something

I just wish they would bring back the old Alterac Valley. With the current state of PvP, the old AV could potentially last for days. It would be great to have to actually use the summoned bosses and stuff again.

Yeah, when people used to summon those bosses in AV, THAT was when PvP took skill and you didn't just run in, follow the crowd, attack a few things, win, and get tons of honor... WoW needs its challenge back.

I've been demanding a Team Deathmatch sorta bg for ages, but my cries for renewed pvp fall on deaf ears.
Old AV was perfect. A little drawn out perhaps, but still, fun. My idea is just something from either 10v10 to 40v40, no capture the flag, no "cap base and hold", nothing like that. All too often in bgs you lose because the bad kids that just want to farm honor by killing. I think having a bg where that is the ONLY objective would not only take these kids out of the other bgs, but be a fun way to just go play for a while.
Now, back on topic. OP I really do like your idea. Although I'd think 2 teams would be fine. Or if not, then why stop at 3 teams, and not have 5-6 of them? Also, multi-faction teams would be great. No more QQ about "horde always wins!" or "horde sucks like always", you actually have a fighting chance.
