With the latest patch, you should hit the one-lego-per-week spot with much less efforts then pre 7.3
Since the last 2 weeks, for me around 20ish( bosses between ToS N/HC/M, a handful of M+ and the daily chores in Argus were enough to get 2.
The last 2 sources were an Argus Rare and a regular Treasure Chest.
Going multiple raid clears, LFR clears, a full round of M0, emissaries and Argus grind is putting people in the 2 lego per week range from what i could see from many guildmates.
So much lack of info or lying in this thread. Is this PUG or with guildies? Are you dps only or are you also able to queue as tank/healer? These variables greatly affects your time. Furthermore I'll call BS on your some of your timers unless your entire guild assist you through it all (LFR), my experience is quite different (PUG-Rogue):
LFR Queue time averaging at the bare minimum of 20 mins, LFR section averaging 20 mins, boss only averaging 10 mins which becomes = minimum 3.5 hours for all LFR raids. Chaining all queues might make it a bit quicker but lets keep it at 3.5 hours to off-set the errors of wiping (happened during the early ToS + avatar) & joining mid-raid - thus requiring to queue again later.
Normal - well in PUG there's an assembly time as well and greater chance of wiping but lets assume 30 mins preparation and errors. 1 hour each of EN+NH, ToV 0.5 and ToS at 1.5 putting us at = 6 hours for all normal raids including assembly.
Heroic - Same preparation time of 0.5 each and 1.5 hour each of EN + NH, ToV 1 and ToS 2 = 8 hours
Mythic - I don't raid mythic and highly doubt pug viability but why did you put 1-2 hours on mythic while 2-3 hours on heroic? Doesn't make any sense as it should be opposite. But lets assume you'll receive assistance from an external guild for this and clear them all in the same as a heroic pug = 8 hours*
Argus WQ including 3 invasion is approx = 1 hour
Legion Assaults = 30 mins varying on the location of each spot.
Mythic+0 varies quite a bit but lets assume 30 mins each dungeon which includes travel time. This amounts to 13 (14 if you count Karazhan in two parts) times 30 mins = 6.5 hours
Lets look at the tally = 3.5 + 6 + 8 + 8* + 1.5 + 6.5 = 33.5 hours to complete as PUG + some assistance on mythic raids while is unlikely but averages out at ~4.8 hour a day throughout a week. If you subtract the mythic raids then we're at 25.5 hours of farming thus averaging out at 3.6 hours a day.
How the fuck did you get that down to 15 hours? Even assuming you and your carrying guild are demi-gods and can complete all normal, heroics and mythic raids at the same pace as LFR it would still leave you at 22 hours to complete.
Lets put it in perspective of available hours:
An average normal day gives me 6 hours sleep + 1 hour to wake up and prepare + 2 hour commuting + 8-10 hours spent at work + 1-1.5 hour cooking, grocery, eating + 0.75 hour chores + 0.75 hour before entering sleep state which leaves me at best 4.5 hours available with 0 social engagement and "downtime" and at worst 2 hours. Thats not including other stuff such as working out (2 hours incl. travel time) and 0 social engagement.
On a weekly basis assuming 0 social life and planning and subtracting 16 hours sleep, 6 hours of training, 2-3 hours of cooking, eating and cleaning over the weekend I'd end up with 33 - 46.5 hours available, give or take.
At best: I'd would spend 72% of my spare time on farming, 55% without mythic raids.
At worst: I'd be missing ½ hour for completion, 77% without mythic raids.
Is it worth it?

It was 1 a week before doing all raid content, broken shore and emisaries.
It's now more like 2+ a week if you're doing all that and argus.
Argus alone can damn near net you 1 a week. Kill all rares, do the invasions 2-3 times a day and loot chests. All of this adds BLP and can drop legos. The amount of shit you can get legos from literally tripled since argus.
And no, if you take 1 trip to argus a day and just do the WQs/3 invasions a day that's not giving you anywhere the BLP you can actually get from it just by logging on and spending a 30 min session there 2-3x a day.
To hell with that grind. My main has four, half of my alts only have one, and the other half don't have any. I'm good with one every few months. Don't need more than that.

I stopped doing wqs on my main about 8 months ago (other than broken shore/argus to get exalted). All i do each week since launch is 1-2 mythic+ dungeon a week and normal/heroic clear of the current raid each week. I have every lego other than 2 prot ones. According to most people I am hardly playing and I have managed to get pretty much every lego for my main. I was acquiring a lego about once every 2-3 weeks this way. If you play more there is no reason you shouldn't be able to acquire one every 1-2 weeks.
I have 7 legndaries, but I don't remember the last time I got one. It's been so long. I've been playing a LOT. Kind of feeling like they changed the formula.
What!? You gotta reiterate what you just wrote. Your first statement says that Argus alone can almost net 1 legendary a week by killing all rares and invasion + chests and in your next paragraph you saying that its not possible only by spending time in Argus? The fuck are you on about?
Except one dude can put in 2 legendaries worth of effort and come out with +200-400k dps, and not have to do any more mind draining grinding.
Another dude can get all garbage legendaries, and now have to put in significantly more effort for the exact same reward.
I just came back from a 2~ month break myself, and joined a friends guild. They wanted me to swap chars so I did. I'm now 930 ilvl on that char without ever going into tomb on him. In that time, I have gotten 1! legendary, and it's garbage, despite grinding the ever living hell out of everything, and being fully geared and ready for raiding. Now I have to still grind for months just for 2 pieces that are a significant portion of my dps just to compete, even though I have everything else.

This is the part where someone says you shouldnt have taken a break and should have cleared all raid difficulties each week like a raid bot and you would have more legendaries. Fun/good/rewarding/fair system that is the legion legendary system.
One day I'll get to change spec on my alts.
