Taken from http://www.wowwiki.com/Formulas:Mob_XP
Mobs in 5-man instances give slightly more XP, but mobs in most raid instances give no XP. Raid instances that DO award XP include Upper Blackrock Spire and Zul'Gurub.
(elites in instances give 2.5 * XP when solo-ed; untested for normal mobs in instances - Stilpu) (confirmed zero XP at lv 58 in Molten Core, at lv 69 in Karazhan and Zul'Aman. confirmed XP gain in Zul'Gurub when a lv 56 dinged 57 but exact amount earned is unknown - Ishotala) (Some monsters, like in the Amphitheater of Anguish, give the doubled exp PER player. If you do those quests with less than five players, you'll get more experience than this formula. The total amount of exp they deliver is 10 * normal_XP. Has to be confirmed, through. pikachuyann)
I haven't boxed in a while. I have been thinking about coming back. If I did I would be in a similar situation as the OP. I need to level a toon from 60 to 80. I am not sure but I think it might be easier/faster to level just the one character. I think alot of people fall into the trap of thinking "I have 5 accounts. If I don't play them all at the same time then I am wasting time". I know I used to fall into thought. Let me know how fast levels are coming for you.
