rounded up) exp per person per kill.
The same group of 5 level 60 players killing level 60 mobs in Hellfire Peninsula would be earning ((60*5)+235)/5)*1.4 or (535/5)*1.4 or 150 (rounded up) exp per person per kill.

Now to put this in context - the average quest in EPL rewards about 9,000 exp - which means you would need to kill 93 mobs to get the eqivalent exp in a group of 5. The average quest in HFP rewards about 10,500 exp - which equates to 70 mobs for same amount of exp in a group of 5.

Ok you need to kill 90 mobs for the same as a single quest. Thats 4 pulls, thats 8 minutes of playing (including looting) and 20 minutes of doing nothing waiting for repops afk, or posting on forums, or reading about the game or watching TV ..... Actually its 3 X 7 or 21 mintues for 4 pulls if you log after the last one. So 8 minutes for playing and 13 mintues watching TV vs. one quest.
So watching TV is the secret to taking years to level? I knew there was some kind of trick.

Also as to gear when you kill 1000's of mobs you get a shot at the super rare items. I got the "orb of deception" sold for 1000G at the AH.
Anyone that wants to camp the DM arena can get that orb easy enough. It doesn't require boxing or killing millions of mobs. Just leave a character(in your case 30+ characters) there with an alarm setup to notify you when the mob pops. This would go well with your "watch a lot of television" leveling strat.

Everyone agrees instance boosting is the best if you have a current level 70 or 80, the argument is do you quest or grind if you don't have an existing high level account, or the mobs are getting to high to pull a zillion of. Also instance boosting will be nerfed at some point in the future so you have to consider the time put in learning a techniqe that won't be viable.
What makes you think instance boosting will be nerfed? As far as the time put in to learning it goes I don't really understand what you are talking about. You make a group, run into an instance, the booster kills everything. What is there to learn? You would think if you have a high level character you would already know how to kill mobs many levels lower without much of a learning curve.
