I imagine while some of it could be fun, it is nothing to be taken seriously as class balance is heavily the most weighted factor.
It feels more as something to do, or a place to go with guild mates or friends, than something that can be seen a competitive pvp. I would enjoy this content to a point, but it is far inferior to actual premade 6v6 minis. And do not be fooled it is as such either.
You want incentive for PvP, make owning a BK meaningful so people will not only fight to keep theirs, but deny others to have one at all. Perhaps owning a BK could mean that you can access content for your guild others can not. I can imagine no better way to incentivize pvp as to owning a T3 BK is the only way to access T6 content. I bet you would see guild rivalries and actual PvP within minutes of that announcement, and all those pvpers that raiding guilds complain about just being in guild all of a sudden become the people they want to keep the most.
