Bumping this because I am trying it for the first time very soon. Is this still the preferred method?

My pally hit 70 and has pretty much blah gear, but I've farmed out 3 of the sporeggar shields. I should have spikes on them tonight.

Or should I use finalwish's method of DoT farming with my sPriest? She is fully epic'd so it should be fairly simple. The only issue I can see is the hassle of tracking which mobs are dotted up and which one is about to die before zoning out.

I ask this because I'll need to transfer my pally over to my last account if I want to xp farm with her, while my sPriest can do it right now.
You don't need an exceptionally well-geared prot pally to make this worth your while. In fact I just finished running a team through SM with a pally in nothing but level 67-70 "of the sorcerer" plate gear in a prot build. If your gear is as bad as my horde pally (which it doesn't sound like yours is) you can just use SoL to make up for alot of gear. Later zones though would require a better geared pally to be effeicient enough to boost with.

As far as the dot/zone out thing I believe Blizzard nerfed that in 2.4.
