Cataclysm is coming soon! It's time to start thinking about methods of leveling to 85. We're going to look at the three most common and obvious leveling paths: Questing, Instancing, and BGing. Each method has pros and cons and, as with most things in WoW, the personal tastes of the individual player will determine which path is best for them.

Quests are typically the least demanding way to level in terms of gear or skill. They're balanced to be completed by players in very poor gear and don't often require much in the way of coordination or intimate knowledge of your class. If you're new to the game or starting out on a different character for Cataclysm then it's probably a decent idea to get used to your new abilities while you level to 85 rather than jumping into PvP or Dungeons immediately.
