Instances while rested give a scarey amoutn of exp if you do with a correct level group.
Plenty of people levelled a while back from pvp, but you need to do the reading, as they ratehr nerfed it so that only a certain amount of bg pvp counted per day and only objectives, not kills, got exp.
Personally, as Kazza says Janes is great, but one proviso, I can't remember how up to date it all is, and they made some major increases to the levelling speed, both in vanilla wow land and outlands. so while I agree to follow Janes, the minute your quests in a zone are going green, move to the next one, as the exp nerf for green quests is pretty heavy and mob kills for green quests often tend to be grey so no exp.
I'd been holding off levelling anything until cataclysm, given many of the original zones will change heavily.
Comments on instances:
wc - unless with a group you know, don't bother, even wuith no travelling time now, size makes it a bind
shadowfang keep in silverpine is a joy - loads of bosses and got balanced a while back so that the level gap from initial mobs to final boss is much less, I'd defo do this 2-3 times ina row if you can get a group
blackfathom deeps is ok also at mid 20's
mauradon is nice if you can devote an evening to it, but I've always found uldaman a bind, as it has that chain that needs you to go in and out about 3 or 4 times.
brd - i've always liked, for the kinda massive "mines of moria" feel, but again, you can;t do it in one run, but there's loads of quests.
dire maul and scholo/strat/brs - you may get groups quick these days, but i'd just grind quests on wpl/epl/silithus and get into outland at the minimum level you can get the quests (it used to be 58)
Anyhow, my fave levelling zones, would be:
dustwallow marsh - when they redid it, it went from worthless to awesome, nice mini hubs, getting about 2-3 levels in almost 1 evening for mid 40's
tanaris - after dustwallow, pretty much everything you kill is for a quest
ungoro - again, after tanaris, and if you get the quests from SWa nd otehr places, almost everything you kill is a quest mob or quest drop kill
silithus - crap to grind quests, but there's 5 or 6 really easy quests there, adn if you want to levle cooking, the sandworm recipe is pretty much the only effective way to get from 290-300
felwood / winterspring - i have a love hate, love them on horde, hate them on alliance, god knows why, but I never finish the chains WS, as too much travelling.
Best of luck matey!
