It is a gank point. A spot that others can easily gank other players. It has nothing to do with warmode balance or a buff. Even if you had a 100% buff you could still be ganked. It is no different then when alliance were farming the tortollan quests to get 400 item level gear. Popular spots will up the chances of you encountering large groups of opposite faction players.
You can get your own group. Call in Anduin's knights (holy lag when they appear lol.). Turn off warmode and complete the quest to get past the choke point. You have options. PvP will always be like this and always has been.
