That would probably be the fastest, most efficient way to go.

I'd also suggest that, if you care about speed, don't really worry about looting anything until you hit level 45-50+ on your subsequent teams, while boosting with a mage. The amount of money you will make leveling 1-45 will be probably less than 20% of what you would make over the final 10-15 levels, and it will increase your time to clear instances by a huge amount. Not only will you probably double the time to clear for any given instance, but you will also need to make vendor runs which will kill your speed even more.

Loot what you can while drinking between pulls, etc, but don't be so caught up on looting that you're delaying clears to do it.
Working on my 2nd team I have been thinking similarly. If it is your first team on a given server you do need to loot enough to be able to fund your spells/repairs/griffens at least. It would help if you are able to lock down your specs and what not from the get go as respecing can get pretty expensive pretty fast.
