There is a youtube on this. I would link it but I can't get to you tube from work.
Here is what you do gain all the xp you can at level one without going past level 1. The guy on youtube did exactly one point away from hitting level 2. Then get your level grants. Go to Outlands gate. When you get to 60 accept the quest right there to go to Outlands and walk through the portal and turn in and BAM level 61.
