The WoW rest system does work on a character basis, not an account
basis.  I personally use it to full advantage in this way.

I have 5 Horde characters on one server, all different classes and
trade skills.  During the week, I play about one character each day
and on the weekend, I concentrate on a primary character and ""burn"
the saved up rest for all the characters.  This nearly maximizes the
rest for all characters if I log them out in cities of inns.

This system also allows me to use the mail system to exchange items
and resources between characters with complementary trade and
gathering skills.  It allows you to create a type of one-man
autocratic guild.
