I always do SoO lfr at times where I can expect short waiting times in 
the queue.  First two wings are usually done wednesday and thursday 
afternoon or night as most heavy ilvl560+ dps trains are available there 
(= almost no issues with wipes) as they just need to VP cap asap.  Third 
and fourth wing is usually done saturday and sunday afternoon.  And 
peeps who does the last two wings tend to have a clue about the fights 
so those are relatively easy too despite the difficulty steepness 
compared to the first 2 wings.
My laptop is placed in the kitchen so I usually do the dishwashing while 
im in a queue.  Viola.  Problem with queue times solved. :)

But apart from the raiding part there is not really much work in it 
compared to pre-5.4 patches.  5.3/Isle of Thunder was a walk in the 
desert and I really hated that part.  5.2 was just... meh.  The daily 
timeless quest is 10-20 mins of frog chopping incl. teleporting to and 
from the island.  But its also shows that gearing up isnt that hard if 
you put a little effort in it.
I have made around 105-110k coins on my shammy in 5 weeks mainly by 
killing the frogs.  I recently spent 40k'ish on kukuru's chests and got 
2 burdens + 7500 coins on the teleport trinket.  And now I sit with 56k 
coins which I consider spending on either a new trinket or some more 
burdens at kukuru.  But actually I'm satisfied with my trinkets atm.  I 
have timeless 496/SoO 522 trinkets on each spec and I do acceptable to 
fine dps and healing in lfr and flex.

Luckily my realm is a low-pop.  Evil tongues says my "rp" realm will be 
connected to a handful of other rp/non-rp realms within the next few 
weeks.  There is no official info about it yet.  But if the rumors are 
right Blizzard have seen that the rp aspect on my realm is long gone. :)

The really hard part was the rep grinding on my shammy.  I really really 
really wanted the teleport trinket.  So when my shammy hit 90 I spent a 
few concentrated hours on heavy-farming ordos trash in 496 gear and 
corpse running until I hit honored with the emperor!
