Fastest grind for Heirlooms in 5.1?

Anyone have suggestions on the fastest way to grind Justice/Honor for heirloom purchasing?
Assumptions: lvl90 dps spec, no preformed groups, and LFR ilvl for PvE/HP gear for PvP.
Thanks!

Get a tank/healer spec and que for regulars.

Thanks, Rystrave. That's faster than running scenarios in your experience?

Actually yes. I mean, I haven't grinded for JP this expansion since I'm still grinding heroics for VP, but in the past a 15 minute regular dungeon was way faster than any other kind of grind for JP.
I thought scenarios gave VP. I'm probably mistaken, since I don't do those very often at all.

First 2 per day give 40/20 VP but then 84 JP the rest; LFD is 60JP per run. Both according to wowhead.
In my experience dungeons take 30-60mins each. If that's the case, I think scenarios will be faster for me. I'm on a dead server so it's hard to get a group together to do speed runs.
I'll check out both options when I get on tonight. Thanks again for your input. Either way it sounds like I'll be grinding away for some time to come.

You could also work on the AT stuff, since you can buy the Heirloom armour for 60 seals a piece and the weapons for 75-95 depending.
JP wise though, yeah just keep hitting up scenarios since they do go faster then regular instances; will take a bit but you'll get there eventually.

I also think that converting Honor from random battlegrounds is faster than running dungeons unless you are always going to queue for dungeons as tank.
It actually isn't that more efficient, since it costs 350 points to covert to the other standard; if you have 4000 HP, you only end up with about 2800 JP or so.

If I get motivated maybe I'll put a guide together for this...or ask an heirloom guide author to add info.
It looks like you would need to average 126 HP per BG to break even with scenarios. That's assuming similar time commitment to run each.

I'd be willing to grind a few out with you to kill some time (even heal on my drood, who isn't 90 yet). My realID is on my profile, feel free to add me.

My expierence tells me go scenarios!
If youget 2 other nice people to go with you, and assuming you have ilvl490+ then a scenario shouldnt take more than 7 mins (at the max).
This grants you 20 valor points and 30 justice points in a mere amount of 7 mins - I think thats rather good ;) atleast the valor part!

get your cap limit of alts to level 15 and play darkmoon fairy games. pick up the quests in dungeons with the guides for bonus tickets or buy them in the auction house. takes a bit to get set up and run all the alts to 15 but you will get a full set of heirlooms for at least one toon and a few more pieces the 1st week of every month. absolutly the fastest way to get heirlooms after your set up right. if you dont want to put the time into doing that then just grind dungeon and raid bosses until your fingers bleed for justice,
