To add to my other post I did this guide in 1 day and 24 hours about playing as rogue/druid alliance.
I went afk a fair amount and did not try to maximize my played times by logging out.
Since this was a brand new server for me I was still using level 5 daggers at level 58 (until I got outland ones) and I finally got my normal ground mount at level 50.
There are is a great many optimizations someone can make to the guide and I will probably toy around with tourguide recorder myself.
