I just confirmed that in Lightroom (4) even if two frames shot with AWB have different temperature and tint you can batch adjust them with the WB eyedropper and they will end up the same. So no reason to fear AWB.
It's worth repeating that any shutter speeds that don't take in an integer number of florescent color shift cycles will be tough to correct with a neutral reference (grey card, color checker, etc.) from a different frame.
