They're more or less regular battlegrounds, with two differences: you
earn conquest points instead of honor points, and you must join as a
complete raid: either 10 or 15 players, depending on the week.

This effectively removes "bots" and rampant AFKers from the bg, as you
generally have to know someone to get an invite and a bad reputation
will catch up eith you fast.

The general level of play is also higher than regular BGs.
