Keep in mind that the new zones are quite linear in questing. You have to complete quests in a certain order to keep going. This is where I think Blizzard messed up, even in wrath you could jump around a bit in a zone. But the phasing and linear quest lines in Hyjal and Vash... well lets just say it's going to make life tough and kinda bad for replayability.

The good news is that it only takes a few hours to knock out either of the starting zones if you don't get stopped by the spawn rates.
