Level 70-80 Instance Boosting

[daanji]

Hello all! I've recently decided I want to boost a lot of new teams to at least level 75 and a few to level 85. Here are my main goals in order of priority

1. Level 85 of each Class.

Currently I have a Level 85 Prot Pally with x4 Level 85 Elemental Shamans. I also have another Level 80 shaman, druid, and death knight. I would like to boost the classes I'm missing to level 85.

2. Death Knight Team

I've been craving a melee team and I've decided on DKs. I'd have to create x4 new DKs and boost them to 85.

3. Paladin Team

I would also love a paladin team, but this is low priority

4. Level 75s for Transmutes

Finally, I'd like to boost a bunch of toons to Level 75 so I can level alchemy to do transmutes each day. Currently I have 5x alchemists and that is giving me a good income already. More couldn't hurt

So clearly this is going to involve a lot of work and time. I am looking for advice from all the boosting pros out there.

Currently, I am boosting a Level 70 priest, mage, warlock, and hunter with my level 85 Prot Paladin. I"ve been running Utgarde Keep back to back. Here are some statistics

• XP Required for 70-71: 1,219,000

• XP per run: 107,991

• Time to Complete: 20 minutes

• Total Runs Required: 11

• Total Time Required to Level: 3.6 hours

Does this seem reasonable? Seems a little slow to me. Is there a faster or better way for the 70-80 grind? Should I be questing instead? Or instead of boosting, should I get a tank that is Level 70 and run the instances normally?

Also, here are some facts about my team

• Each toon has shoulder and chest heirlooms, yielding a 20% boost in XP

• My guild is Level 5 has the fast track perk for an additional 5%. If I hit guild Level 6, I would get Fast Track Rank 2 for another 5% boost.

• Total XP Boost: 25%, not rested
