Is the horde population compared to alliacne that out of whack? Everytime I goto AV there is either a 2 hour cue or not even an instance!

I can't speak for WW, but this is one of the biggest complaints about BGs for most servers. The Alliance to Horde ratio is often 3/1 and so Alliance folks are waiting well over 2 hours for an instance, while Horde sometimes have no waits at all.

The Allaince:Horde ratio on WW is like 3:1 or maybe even 4:1 after the server transfer clusterfuck that was supposed to fix the imbalance.

The same situation plagues Suramar. I'm not a PvPer myself (not on Mack anyways), but I hear complaints from guildmembers and friends all the time; the only BG getting any use at the moment is pretty much just Warsong Gulch. Rarely, if ever, has an Alterac Valley instance even been open since the initial popularity of it on live release. The Alliance to Horde ratio is part of the problem... the other part of the problem is that no one seems to have fun in AV since there's no coordination whatsoever. I suppose having a guild vs. guild AV bout would be pretty fun. Otherwise, it's just a clusterfuck of random people shouting orders and doing whatever they please.

Blackhand isn't too bad...although definitely skewed towards the zerg, the wait times arent too long. The longest I've even waited was 20 min. It's usually 10 min or less for me.

A lot of high geared alliance peeps in the top guilds are rerolling Horde on our server cause of the imbalance. We are actually lucky enough to get two AV instances going sometimes.

Sargeras is fine. We've always had a fairly 50/50 popullation, and it shows in AV. We stalemate for days, or until some Alliance fuckheads exploit our boss out of our base and into theirs...
