The fastest option to ding 80 would just be to go through all the quests. You can get 80 in about 2 weeks of casual play (or less I'm sure), by doing the quests - it just takes a certian type of mentality to keep on pushing through them. As Hachoo stated, don't bother spreading your guys out - just walk up, hit tab, nuke, loot -> repeat until the quest objective(s) are done-> turn in-> get more quests. If you want to mix things up a bit, take some time out and learn some of the dungeons. While trying to maximize my dps on my new team, I've been toying (erm... farming) around in Utgarde Keep with Prince Kelesith, acquiring the Blade of Evocation for my shammis. If you want to make things even more fun, take a look at some of the dungeon drops that you'd like - then go get them . It sure as hell gives you a break from questing, plus you'll probably gain between 200-400k experience per dungeon run (~or up to 20-25% of a level and most dungeons can be completed in about an hour or less). The more experience and knowledge you gain in a dungeon, the easier its going to be when you go to do it in Heroic mode. And besides, if you're like me at all, you will enjoy watching your characters improve as they get better gear - I'm already posting over 1400 dps now at level 71, and I have several ideas about how to improve that!

If you're on a PvP server, you can spend some time working on your killing tactics - try going out and killing some level 80s at 70 - see if you can do it (you'd probably be suprised). I try to do this every day as well, and the only classes I'm having trouble with right now are 80 Holy Paladins (I doubt I'll get any kills on them till I get to around 75+), and some Death Knights. I've been able to kill a single group of level 75-76 players with ease (Starfall, Stun and Shock Spam (SSSS = win)). I've only had my new alliance team on their new server for about 3 weeks now, and they'll ding 72 in about 15 more quests (am hoping for 75 this weekend :thumbup: ).

You can do it!

Cheers.
