First Warrior to 60

I took on learning the warrior class a little better a couple of weeks ago and started 2 warriors.  Initially I had a Dranei warrior which I started when I rerolled as a jewel crafting alt.  I am leveling that warrior as Arms.  I later on heard from the WoW Insider show's warrior expert that an elven warrior had the best racial which is a 2% chance not to be hit which was not dodge based.  The non-dodge base is key since some bosses and warriors have an ability to instantly in-act damage on a dodging target (overpower).  I started this new warrior with no heirlooms and went the fury tree with prot as a secondary talent set. 

I always consider level 60 the first big achievement in game and a definite sign that a character is not merely an alt.  And though the leveling process from 1-60 has been optimized I found the climb as mainly a fury warrior to 60 has been quite quick and satisfying.  My questing route has been somewhat benefited by my previous rises to 60 and feel that the path I took this time around was rather quick and optimized in terms of XP, reputation, rewards, and lore.  Anyone who tries my quest path feel free to comment on how you felt about it.

Few notes on using this quest path:

• Reputation Grinds - I was able to get revered with Dalaran and Gnomeregan.  I am about 3/4 the way to revered with Stormwind.
• In Stone Talon I did the quests towards the North Barrens but doubled back towards Desolace instead of continuing through the Barrens.
• When leaving Ashenvale and questing towards Stone Talon I easily missed (second time around) the gnome at Silverwing who basically opened up 95% of the quest chain in Stone Talon.  I had missed this quest giver initially when my Elven druid made his way through there and could not figure why no quests were available in Stone Talon.
• Profession Grinds - I am finding herbalism to be a great profession to level with since flower picking now adds XP with each harvest regardless on whether you can level your skill.  The beneficial skill of herbalism gives my warrior a minor heal-over-time option which I have been mainly using to speed up post mob recovery.  I did not sell any herbs and found it more beneficial to send them to my scribing alt and my alchemist alt for glyphs and potions.  Skinning has somewhat been profitable.  I have made thousands of gold auctioning old world leather and have been using the armor kits to supplement my armor needs.  The Skinning beneficial adds to my DPS.
