Sounds like youre missing some quest hubs or something.

You should at least attempt some of the gathering quests in WOTLK. While I agree with most the questing is more SOLO oriented than any other expansion by far. While it is an MMO - WOW is catering to the casual/solo player now as the game gets older and game population shrinks.
when i last leveled a set of 5 together (after raf) i used to level from 60 -70 just as you hit shadowmoon valley (with no collection quests & only a couple of instances if i got the quest)

this time round i only did a couple of the inital starting quests in hellfire @ 58 and boosted to 68
