I hit exalted with my team post 3.0, but I wasn't in any rush.

I did all of the dailies available until I hit friendy, or honored, or whichever opened up a few of the better dailies. Once I did that, I stopped doing the collection quests in favor of just doing the ones that could be done more easily as a group. This included the booterang, the poisoning, the nagrand killing, the flayer killing. One noteworthy thing is the eggs seem to be a lot easier to come by now, so I was able to find all five eggs somedays just in doing my regular questing.

If you're in a hurry, you can get it all done pretty fast, but I just can't stand collection quest dailies. The crystals, transport killing and mine cart quests were the ones I generally skipped, or gathered casually while I was doing the flayer quest and turning in only once all five were done.

Have fun!
