PVP diversion - first four transmog sets

Quick break from grinding PVP Pet battles to turn in some medallions in Area 52 for the first four transmog sets. I'm doing this because I recently realized I'd need to have war mode turned on in order to get 1000 honor in each zone and do the other war mode achievements. It's been a long time since I did any meaningful PVP and I'd love to do more but the BG queue times are horrible - 15 minutes per BG, and half the time you zone in to one that we are losing.

My current "check this daily" achievement list

A lot of achievements simply take a ton of time to complete. As a result I (like most achievement hunters) work on them slowly over time. I just use the stock WOW achievement tracker to do this. I recently finished the Venomhide Ravasaur mount dailies (20 days in Ungoro Crater) and I'm working on finishing up Free For All, More For Me which mostly involves hearthing to Dalaran and checking which PVP quest is up, then flying out there to complete it. The sticking point is The Darkbrul-oh which involves completing Darkbrul Arena twenty times.

This one is farmable but I still need a bunch of Garrison Invasion-related achievements so I...

It's pet week!

Sadly, the new pet battling matchmaking means that I only get paired against experienced players (for the most part anyway). Still, it's pet week and there are almost instant queues on PVP pet battles. I think I'll get through about half of the achievements for Family Brawler this time around and hope to complete the rest as soon as I can (likely just by doing a set of ten per week). Note that alts work very well when the "pet week" is up since they can collect a new Ultimate Battle Stone for every alt that completes the quest this week. One big help with these achievements has been a set of addons that I'd ignored right now. Rematch and Pet Tracker especially. Being able to see the moveset and cooldowns of opposing teams before they get used has helped enormously. An example of what I mean is below: Current status:
