I am new to WoW after boxing 24 toons myself at one time and raiding on TLP EQ2 for many years... So I understand what you are "thinking" because what you said is EXACTLY what I said on my first group and did a mixed group. Absolute waste of time (for me at least).
I have learned a lot in the one month or so that I have been into WoW pretty hardcore building my team and teams. The one thing about WoW that I absolutely despise is that you essentially have to run quest after quest after quest after freaking quest.. and you spend more time in this game running from area to do quest back to reward and back and back and back.. Get quest, run to area for 5 mins, kill 10 MOB's in under a minute, run back for 5 minutes. So it's like a 10-1 ratio of action/runing a lot of the time. Its almost caused me to quit like 4 times, because I am comparing it to 10 years of EQ2 where you can literally jump into action at level 1 and not complete a single quest and get to lvl 50 faster... and its action the entire time and pulling mobs etc... so that has taken me awhile to get used to here in WoW....its so damn boring leveling up.
The group that I have had the most fun leveling and stuck with past 50 is War/Dru/Hun/Hun/Hun. I did do about 5 different setups to lvl 40 or so and none of them intrigued me to play past that (except for my current). Can do about any encounter and any dungeon so far with relative ease as long as you know the strat. Around 115 now and still pretty lethal... for off tiem I am leveling up 5 Paladins (WAY more fun than I thought it would be) they are lvl 40ish... and just started 1BMK/4ELSHM (primarily so I can que). Just my 2 cents as I am still new and learning after playing EQ2 for 10 years and even boxed 30+ in EQ1
If you need any help in game or want to run some stuff together down the road like raiding send me a PM here... got my own guild with all my toons in it and a totally dead server, which I love. Have literally seen less than 10 people my entire time leveling on the server (out in the world, a few more in towns).... it feels like I own it!
...Of course that is just my opinion, I could be wrong.
