60 to 70 In InstancesFollow

I currently have a level 54 Prot Pally and was thinking if it would be viable to level him from 60 to 70 as Holy using only instances in Outland? My reasoning behind this comes from how much I have enjoyed healing five mans in the past, the rep gains I'd recieve, and the gear. My only problem I can think of is the time factor... Does anyone know if this method's leveling time would be close to grinding and questing?

Not to mention the amount of XP needed to gain a level post 60 and how short Outland instances are. You'd be doing a LOT of instances. I'm sure it coudl be done, but like the poster above me said, there's a lot of stuff you're missing out on by not questing as well.

To elaborate further, you'll want to do the first few quests in Hellfire Peninsula to get some basic Outland-quality gear. Once you have those early quest rewards in hand, you want to run Ramparts and Blood Furnace a few times each, before returning to HFP questing.

As a holy pally myself, I totally lucked out for one great evening in my early 60s. A few of us formed a 5-man party for the Overlord group quest, and the PUG worked so well together that we decided to stick together and blow through the remainder of our quests in Hellfire (Rock Flayer Matriarch, Colossal Menace, etc.) as a group over the next couple of hours. We simply crushed the zone. The quests that weren't designated as group quests went mindblowing easily AND we got the benefit of the group-XP bonus (which seemed like a huge increase over the solo XP rate). We just kept dinging, faster than I ever remember leveling at any other point in the game.
