Northrend instances may be tough at first for a team of 68-70s with non uber gear. (This depends on your group makeup, however)

I really, really, really liked instance runs for levelling in WotLK, but I play on a PvP server and don't like being interrupted when I'm trying to level. I probably did 50/50 questing/instances from 70-75, and leveled almost exclusively in instances from L75-80. (I am questing with my team at L80 to rake in cash for mounts, now). Upside of instance running is that you can pick and choose which instances you want to run and accumulate a pretty good set of blue dungeon drops for your team. You have the flexibility to farm only the bosses you might need-- I ran Halls of Stone 30-40 times and just killed the first boss or two until my team of hunters all had the gear drops they needed, can't do that in a normal group so easily...

Boylston, I'm thinking of doing the same thing as you are doing, and I actually can run the exact same group composition as your sigs if needed. 2 questions for you if you have the time

1) how long did it take you to level with rested on average? 3 runs? 4? 5? how long per run? any wotlk instance better for grinding in than others? (like the bf recommendation for TBC earlier in this thread)

2) you said ease of the run varies with group makeup (obviously) in your experience, if you can make up a dream team for instance running, what would you recommend?
