Thanks for the feedback all. Sounds like those dailies in Northrend are the way to go. I may even activate two accounts and twobox for a while. I've read a lot of posts here concerning the RAF system and I think this will work:

2 existing accounts + 3 new RAF accounts:
1 --> 3
2 --> 4
.......3-->5

This setup should allow me to both boost with account 1 (assuming new characters on 2-5) as well as create a whole new squad of 5 with RAF bonus right?
- boosted accounts are within 5 levels of each other
- regular squad of five all linked together

If it would work, the nice part of this setup is that I can activate 1 & 2 now, and play around with the new toys that have come out since I last boxed (Jamba, ISBoxer etc)
