I've had rubberbanding in almost every mmo that I've played. Aion was particularly bad for it.

You would probably never see 300 players in one spot in WvWvW. Because the map is going to be so big and have different objectives scattered across for different sized groups all the way down to things a single player could pull off. You'll probably see 90-110 players in one spot at the most, of course it's a random value but basically you won't see the entire World you're up against in one spot.

Well Malthurius. Depending on the match I wouldn't be surprised if at times you'll have assaults on places taking place by all three sides each bringing 100-200 people into the frey for the key position of winning on the last day. One side defending the other two attacking both wanting it for themselves.
While other smaller assaults go down on the sidelines.
Normaly you'd be right malthurius but you forget that groups tend to develop a pack mentality after a particular point. If a somewhat largeish battle runs on for very long there is a good chance of more people showing up either by just wandering by or being called over by friends. If there is a large persistant objective to fight over the hairball of players will just get biger and biger till one side wins, and then likely the looseing side will show up shortly to try and take it back. either way once a large pack forms up they are likely to swarm to the next target asumeing there is an obvious next target. On servers that tend to be larger and be more popular for WvWvW I could easily see battles for a central castle growing positivly huge just between two sides not even counting the possibility of the third faction throwing their hat into the ring trying to weakin both sides and finish off the survivor.
Heck I remember seeing rather epic clashes in wintersgrasp in wow were both sides had 3+ full raid groups. Thats 240 people right there although those battles tended to cause northrend to crash. So yes if there's a major objective it wont be hard to see 300+ in one area.
