If you want to save energy: Forget Tarren Mill and Stranglethorn Vale. (TM
got a lot better with battlefields, but the triangle of
TM-Southshore-Hilsbrad is still a deathzone for everyone < 40).

Having that said, it's not a too big deal on my server. Maybe because our
activity ratio is "only" about 1.7:1. Some zones are clearly horde
dominated, like Dustwallow, 1k Needles, Feralas, Desolace, ...

There are 2 things you can do:
- Play in groups
- Watch out. Standard quests don't require you to focus 100% on the mobs,
  so watch your back and if you spot alliance, be careful what you do
