Here's another data point for you all.
I dinged 70 on my second team a few days ago in 6day 6hours /played using RAF.
My journey to 70:
I originally created 2 hunters using RAF and was planning on boosting them with my 70 protadin. I very quickly found that didn't work! So I made a third hunter, and leveled the group of 3 all the way to 60 questing. I tried to go as fast as I could: no looting, no professions, no instances, only train when I happened to be near a city, and almost no gathering quests.
At 60, I used my RAF level granting to bring up a resto druid. I spent a little bit running AV to see what PvP was like with the hunters and a pocket healer.
Now with the 4-pack, I respeced the hunters so I had 2 BM and 1 MM and got a Gorilla, Core Hound, and Wolf and headed to the Outlands.
I did all the non-gathering quests I could, looting as went, but still no professions and no instances. Did all the the quests in Outland I was interested in doing, hitting every zone except for Terokkar which I skipped. At this point I was only 69.5, so I 4 manned Ramps and Blood Furnace (a cake walk at level 69) to ding 70 in 6d6h.
I had enough cash at 70 on those toons to buy the 3 flying mounts they needed.
I did have a Tier 5 buddy help me with the Ring of Blood and Durn the Hungerer in Nagrand, but the rest was solo. (She pulled agro both times and died, hah!)
At 70, I swapped the druid for a resto shammy from my other team and adding a 70 hunter I had to form my new 5 man team: 4x Hunters + 1x Resto Shammy.
Whew!
