I could see those fights being absolutely laughably *insane* on a PvP realm - holy crap! rofl!! The lag must also be incredible! But downing those bosses while having a huge PvP battle at the same time must be incredibly satisfying - Enough where I would yell an audible "YES!!"... I do PvP occasionally - just not that great at it on dps (ok on heals) and like to keep the PvE/PvP separate from each other... :)
