I think there is a slight imbalance in favor of Asura. For Norn, I think there are several more quests than Asura has and that mostly makes up for it, but I do think that Vanguard is left behind. I got r4 Asura and very close to r4 Norn without ever going out for the sole purpose of gaining rep, I only got r3 for Vanguard, though. BTW, I have not done the Polymock or Norn fighting quests so there is more rep to be had for those there too. Does Vanguard have an equivalent?

I noticed this too and was shocked when I did the Asuran chain.
It's because the main quests are also tied into finishing dungeons.
Dungeons give rep points too.

true, but ravens point gives 1500 if you do it outside of the quest chain
so does chathedral of flames, and oolas lab. the rep points are from the quests not dungeons

No, but generally people do a whole area at once.. and that STILL leaves Asura on top, and Vanguard on the bottom. Well, Deldrimor is on top if you do dungeons, I think you wind up about halfway through rank 5 if you run under a blessing for each dungeon, once, plus their quests etc.
The fixed Charr Plans MIGHT help Vanguard even that out a little more, but even doing all quests, dungeons, and a little bit of Vanquishing Lite(tm) I still dropped off a handbook to get me to 4 (for charrslayin' weapon goodness).

Deldrimor is irrelevant due to the Snowmen dungeon. As far as Vanguard goes, it's pretty much Sacnoth Siege runs that give you the goods.

There's more points for asura because they are so freaking rude. It's a bribe to get you to do their story line. I was like, the hell with it, the destroyers can have them. lol

I'd like to see some hard numbers before I comment one way or another.
Add up all the points for all the quests/dungeons/mini-games for Norn,Vanguard and Asura.
I would not be very surprised if they ended up being a lot closer than people think, since the Norn and Vanguard have many many more side quests than the Asura.

Norn
Northern Allies = 1000
Tracking the Norn Bear = 250
Curse of the Norn Bear = 500
Flames of the Bear Spirit = 250
Blood Washes Blood = 500
A Gate Too Far = 1000
Total = 3500 (this ignores all non-primary quests and bounties)
Asura
The Knowledgeable Asura = 1000
Finding Gadd = 250
Finding the Bloodstone = 3000
Lab Space = 250
The Elusive Golemancer = 0
A Little Help = 250
Genius Operated Living Enchanted Manifestation = 1000
Total = 4750 (this ignores all non-primary quests and bounties)
Ebon Vanguard
The Missing Vanguard = 1000
Search for the Ebon Vanguard = 250
Against the Charr = 0
The Dawn of Rebellion = 250
Warband of Brothers = 0
What Must Be Done = 250
Assault of the Stronghold = 0
Total = 1750 (this ignores all non-primary quests and bounties)
Dwarven
Against the Destroyers = 1000
Heart of the Shiverpeaks = 250
Destruction's Depths = 0
A Time for Heroes = 0
Total = 1250 (this ignores all non-primary quests and bounties)
Now, those numbers were taken from the unofficial Guildwiki, and I did not include any of the Dungeon rewards, as you can complete the entire game with no dungeons done. Dungeons will give more Dwarf points though.
I'd say the numbers are imbalanced

Updated your numbers (taken from official guild wars wiki).
