I did 4 pallies here recently without RAF and just finished hitting 80 about 2 weeks ago. It wasn't as sexy as RAF XP but it wasn't stupidly slow to me. As a rough idea of how long it took, mine are sitting at 15-16 days /played and they've done about a week's worth of dailies and the odd northrend dungeon. They also sat /afk in cities quite a bit when I went to get dinner, etc., so figure 15% of that is idle. Also, I spent a lot of time doing quest chains to open up BC instances for the Outland Dungeonmaster achievement, so that's a fair bit. By no means was I trying to blow through as fast as possible.
Even without RAF, I completely skipped STV, Badlands, Searing Gorge/Blackrock/etc., UnGoro, Arathi Highlands. I had an 80 pally to blow up instances with as my 5th, so I actually did Strat/scholo, DM, ST, Mara and ZF. I did quests (including drops) in Hellfire(all), Nagrand(31), Zangarmarsh(53), Blade's Edge(67), Netherstorm(53), Shadowmoon(61) and went to Northrend at 70 I think. Also did all the Outland instances for the TK key and Outland Dungeonmaster achievement. As for old world, I can't remember which ones I did but I think I went from Felwood to WPL at 54ish and did that and EPL (and a few of the easy ones in Winterspring) to finish up to 58.
