How are you blowing through UK with level 70 shamans in quest gear?
They last 2-4 hits on trash.

From leveling a DK to mid-70's in the beta, I'd say skip BEM -- very slow XP from all the traveling. Your call on SMV. Definitely do Netherstorm -- very dense quests, good XP per hour. The gear isn't worth it, but it's good XP. You absolutely don't need gear or level 70 to do Tundra questing. I did most of my leveling naked, srsly.
Here are a few ways to consider it:
If you love upgrades on a continuous basis, keep doing Outlands quests. You'll see upgrades, and get xp.
If you love doing quests just for storyline, do Outlands quests.
If you want achievements, keep doing Outlands quests.
If you want fast xp, go to Northrend.
If you want big gear upgrades, go to Northrend.
If you like quest storylines, and gear, but not so worried about xp - go to Northrend, do some quests for good gear upgrades, then head back to Outlands to continue questing. But if you do this, I'd bet that most people will just stay in Northrend, because the gear, gold and xp are so much better...
Consider this:
Level | Exp Needed to level
70 1,523,800
71 1,539,600
72 1,555,700
73 1,571,800
74 1,587,900
75 1,604,200
76 1,620,700
77 1,637,400
78 1,653,900
79 1,670,800
Tot 15,965,800
Compared to TBC
Level | Exp needed to Level
60 290,000
61 317,000
62 349,000
63 386,000
64 428,000
65 475,000
66 527,000
67 585,000

Taking in to account that mobs are worth between 850-1050 Exp ( 70 - 80 ) and quests are worth 22,500-31,625 You need to do about 725 quests with zero instances to level. If you are able to do instances it makes this number drop ALOT.
In fact when you are able to do Gun'Drak, if you are quick it takes about 15-20 mins and is worth 7.1 % of a level ( Level 76 ) So if you are able to do this over and over and over it's much quicker then questing.
Leveling my main ( warlock ) completing every zone up to IC and SP ( and one run of the instances, just for quests ) I am 78 - 7/10ths. So i can see that you really need to do just about every quest in the zone to ding 80 in SP or IC.
