Yes, that is the meta now. If you as horde do not want to lose fast, the raid will kick you. In essence, if you want to win, the raid will kick you out because you are slowing down their honour farm. Is this what is intended?

B-b-but what about muh lok’tar ogar?
I thought they disabled the kick thing. We tried to remove a leecher they other day and all he got was the debuff. He did not get kicked.
This is my experience too.
No matter how many AFKers get reported, I never see any get removed.
Blizzard don’t have the manpower to manually check which kick vote is abuse and which is legit.
And this is the result
Hm the mentality behind is probably the following:
Your team is rushing forward (or doing whatever). They do not kill any player or as few as possible so they won’t get significant amount of honor during a bg. In the meanwhile you are solo farming enemy players, killing some of them and gain extra honor (which is not shared with your team very far away right?) plus you stretch the duration of the bg a little.
In the end you will have earned more honor than your teammates which can be seen as “unfair” behaviour against your server-teammates.
That’s no excuse at all. The only way you should be able to get kicked is if you afk. There is no rule stating how you should play in a bg 
Did you move at all? Maybe you actually became afk and then you are automatically removed.
You really think this is bad? Just wait until Blizzard really starts hitting the fan:
Currently as Horde you have a 5-10 minute queue with the fastest Alliance players + a lot of Humans getting Exalted because of the racial. In about 1 week, most of the “farmers” would have hit exalted already and Horde queues will skyrocket from 5-10 min up to 30-40.
When you are playing as Horde you basically have 3 options:
- Lose fast and gain 3K bonus honor + 1-3K honor from kills.
- Attempt to do the Russian AV and keep everyone there by not attacking but defending heavily in the hopes of farming honor for 3 hours.
- Have at least 10 mages and slow down the Alliance and turtle a win from 10 to 40 minutes.
For honor farming, the fast lose seems to be the optimal way. For reputation, maybe the Russian AV. Either way, you can still grind honor and rep at a decent speed because queues are very short. After a week however, things will really be different.
The majority of Alliance players would have gotten the epics and moved out of AV. Knowing Blizzard, AV honor won’t be reduced and all honor farm will be done inside AV. Queues will be longer, honor gains will be reduced and you will still be flamed by people for not wanting to lose fast because let’s be honest, not only Alliance players are after reputation.
Needless to say, things will get up to the point where you wait 40-50 minutes for 5K honor. WSG will be completely dominated by Alliance premades and it will be very hard to farm honor there as well.
I’m afraid the worse is yet to come, guys…

You have to actually be afk to get kicked though
rush drek or get kick
Just change your name man, very offensive. Really contradicts the thoughtful post you made and doesnt suit you at all.
