I am currently playing on the Hellfire PvE realm just so I can learn the "quick" ways of leveling.
To get to Outland for alliance -- go to Blasted Lands. You'll get a quest to go through The Dark Portal. Both Alliance and Horde share the same passage. So it'll be a huge pvp fight (if on PvP realm) on the day of release.
From a healer's standpoint---be prepared to do some instances because a lot of the quests are melee-kill taskish. Most priests have been respeccing to shadow; druids to feral just to grind.
PvP quests are similar to those in East Plaguelands. Towers change hands all the time. A lot of Horde and Alliance share the same quests so it'll be a lot of World PvP on Hellfire Pennisula.
It is best to duo or trio quests. I don't recommend to do 5 mans for the initial 60-62 grinds unless grouping for instances.
From 60 to 61 - 415000 Exp
From 61 to 62 - 455000 Exp
From 62-63 - 476000 Exp
A level 60 regular mob solo gives 560 exp.
Quests Exp is 6850 Exp.
Instance Exp atm is the same as solo exp per mob. For instance 1 mob = 560 xp. It will change at release to somewhere around 250 exp per mob.
There are new spells for each class after 60+. I am currently grinding atm so I haven't seen all of the trainers. At the moment there are no trainers in Outland.
All of the Tradeskills have Grandmasters. Currently you can reach to Tradeskills 375.
I have Enchanting and I can now add +15 str to gloves, +24 attack power to bracers, +6 mana regen to chest, and new Fel Iron Rod.
Also there will be a grind for reputation with the Honor Hold group. They are similar to Argent Dawn and their rewards are very very nice.
You can get recipes for the following:
Alchemy - +35 Agility Pot/1 Hr, New Diamond Transmute
Enchanting - +30 healing to Bracer (Friendly), +6 Stats/Chest (Revered)
Blacksmithing - Shield
Will edit this post to include some items.
. Khadgar was the guy who destroyed the Dark Portal in Warcraft 1 or 2 I forget which one.
