2) Fastest is to alternate between questing (preferably with a high-lvl healer standing behind you) and running yourself through instances. As for what lvl you should run instances: From when you can enter and then for about 5 lvls. After the 5 lvls the speed bonus compared to fade and the instance gets really, really boring.

1) iirc Fiery procs on a "per minut" basis, meaning that the slower the weapon the larger %age of proccing on any given hit.
2) Why would you use a melee weapon on a mage?
