I'm boosting a new team at the moment with an 85, would it be more efficient for me to use a level 80 instead? Not sure what the experience loss would be with an 80 vs an 85?
Also, I was going to boost to level 70 and then level normally from that point forward. Is that a wise move, or is it faster to simply quest or run dungeons 60-70 as a team without the high level?
Depends on group makeup. Since this thread is about DKs, unless you are already leveling a 5th toon, I would do a mix of quests and dungeon finder, and the occasional BGs. I'll usually do enough quests to open up quests within dungeons (nexus chain etc) along with all the elite quests for an area, and skip just about everything else. What I like with dungeon finder and someone else in group: Finding a healer takes usually less than 10 seconds. I set my slaves to autopass loot, then if something i need appears i can grab it on main and give to slaves. Healers like it cause it makes them a lot more gold and I like it so I don't have to waste time and loot. As long as healer is looting, you'll get group gold and chunk for guild (with guild perk).
I did 60-70 simply doing the same strategy of a few quests for the dungeons and elite quests and dungeon queued past the rest.
I know some boxers absolutely hate to group with anybody else, and if that's the case, then yes - boost the toons yourself, but I say give dungeon finder a shot. It really helps that DKs are so OP from 60-79 as this has been the easiest group for running dungeons so far. I figured at 80, it should be just a good as you'll have 4 armys to pop.
I did some dungeon finder dungeons, i did UK and Nexus but after 2-3 runs it gets boring and since i don't need anything for my toons i don't feel like doing that.
I'm just going to do some dungeons in Dragonblight, and mix it up with PvP and dungeons.
Once 72-78 is done im finished with the crappy part and the fun can start ^^
Kind regards,

takes the guesswork and aimless wandering out of leveling
If you are are boosting thats another story. use a high level tank and healer to boost three other toons in dungeons. simple.

I use zygor guides. A problem i have with them is if you skip the gathering quests the addon isnt smart enough to stop telling you about the next quests in a gathering chain. This gets worse as you progress through the zones as more and more chains youre ineligible for keep getting recommended. Teh site claims the addon adjusts for raf (it doesnt) and quest skipping ( it doesnt) and heirloom bonuses ( cant verify but i dont believe it).

I agree with you. but as long as you follow the instructions to a T it will have you pretty much doing 3 quests at a time.
On level 85 boosting lowbies. I found an 85 most use from level 60 to 68. A level 85 pally can do huge pulls which in my opinion makes up for the loss in XP. It makes clearing SH very painless with very fast runs.
I previously did this with the same pally at 80 and it was much slower runs.
