So I'm a 75 bear tank spec and decided to level up Mining and JC, after reaching 475 in Mining I decided to take a chance with Mount Hyjal (80-82). Not only I reached 525 with a 120 stam bonus but I stump level 80's.
1000 exp per kill and they can drop green Cata 77-79 for a killing prices in AH. So I decided to hang out in Hyjal for a while. Exp + gold is always good. I' am very surprise that we can do this…. Is it too much easy? Anyone else doing this at lvl 75?

No. Although I can see a tank spec might be able to do it, I'd be giving up quest XP and would have to rely on grinding. With dailies, heirlooms and XP from nodes, Northrend is fairly easy to rush through and I figure Firelands is going to force me to see way too much Hyjal.

You'd really be better off going back to Northrend. Losing out on quest exp is going to severely slow your leveling speed, as is the increased time it takes to kill things. I tried going to Hyjal at 78 on my DK and it took freaking forever to kill the rock elementals. I think I killed maybe 4 or 5 before I decided I'd rather deal with Northrend for another couple levels than level at such a slow pace.

The AH prices for the greens that drop is hit and miss for early Cata stuff, I sold some at 300g a pop, others won't go for more than 50 gold.
Sometimes it's just fun to be on an alt, like today I was leveling my lowest character, and got a drop, that when I did the "see what it looks like" thought oooh transmog... and sure enough it sells on my server for 10K.
So I'll take that over battling with stinking too high level mobs for my character... and besides the quest rewards in northrend still DE for mats that are selling well on my server so I don't care to skip 'em :P

I've found that cool-looking items now sell for a lot due to transmogrification. I've seen green items sell for many times the price of a rare or epic item in the same level range, simply because the green item looks better.
Personally, I spent 500g on green polearms after I won that one from the Dragon Soul raid. Wanted to transmogrify it and some of the polearm models at the AH looked nice. Ultimately I decided to go with a PvP model, though.
Supply and demand, baby, yeah!

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
Well this is the item Transmog ME!
and yeah it goes for nuts amount, but then things like Ruby Shades and Haunted Memento go for about the same price on my server.

Leveling Mining and JC was my first concern, but the loots and exp got my attention.
There is nothing per se wrong with vacationing in Hyjal. Downing higher level mobs can help break up the boredom of fighting yet another pig (or whatever it might be at any given level). Sometimes, the tactics that may lead to level cap most rapidly fail to deliver in terms of amusement. I doubt I'll spend much time there, but I'll probably try it next time I have a suitable character in that level range.
Really, you're going nuts over 625g?

I go nuts over 50g... Seriously. Any amount of gold I get, I'm happy
I'll often show up in an expansion zone prior to when I am supposed to be there. It's fun for a bit, and a break from normal questing. I usually only do it for about the last half a level. Any more than that and farming monotony sets in.

level 77-79 Cata. greens is one easily of the most overlooked markets on the servers I play on. 150-250 a hit for people looking to get all twinky in battlegrounds or just speed through the last of northrend a little faster. It's one of the few places I'll actually buy and re-list armor (also do level 40-42ish plate and skimpy transmog stuff).

Not as early as 75 but I've gone up there early on alts to farm. Being able to fly just makes stuff like herbs and mining nodes more accessible. You don't have to hack and slash your way through tons of mobs just to get to the next node.

Oh I am aware, having spent a fair bit of gold on Cata greens for alts while leveling. I just don't get being all excited over making 625g on a few greens and deciding to gimp your leveling speed because of it.
I'm not great at making gold, but I do have about 50k spread across all my toons on Proudmoore. So 625g is like a drop in the bucket for me.

So, would you consider yourself cheap or low maintenance?

STUPID #$%^ING ENTER BUTTON, I WASN'T DONE YET! 
Anyway, what I was trying to say...
is that I'm probably guilty of the same thing myself. I'll slow down my levelling from time to time and make a little extra on an alt. For example I just spent a good bit of blue bar on my DK running around grabbing cobalt. Sure there were probably better ways to do that, but the combo and prof level ups + extra gold + still levelling a skill was too good to pass up.
*Has a flashback to using archeology to level 80-85*
So what was I saying? Oh yeah, I umm... I...

Not so much anymore. I've got 5 85's , a level 57 mage and a 40 something rogue. You get xp leveling professions, you get xp pvping, you get xp running dungeons. You can avoid questing once you hit level 10.
However, you do want some of your Cata reps like therazane. You can get enough rep to buy the tabard and just run instances, gaining rep faster than if you quested XD
To me, it sounds fun to do Hyjal at 75.
But then again, I'm one of those crazy fools who plays the game for fun.
Go figure.

While that is true, it has nothing to do with what I was saying. When it comes to grinding out mobs which are 5 levels higher than you, and questing in a level appropriate zone, you are going to level significantly faster questing in a level appropriate zone. In fact, questing in a level appropriate zone is the most efficient way to level, aside from completing dungeon quests (which you can only do once per dungeon of course, so it isn't sustainable).

I reached 475 in JC last night and unlock my first Daily in Hyjal, what a thrill. I killed 10 Elemental and earned my first token…at lvl 75…Yes I can quests in Zul’Drak but it will never gives me the satisfaction/fun that I had last night. As an old player,i wish we could start questing at higher zone for spicing up the challenge, but grinding is what we are allowed to do for now (no quests for you!).
Actually at 75 you can get quests for Sholazar. Go to Dalaran, you should be able to get the intro quest to the zone at 75, I did on one of my toons a few months back. Only annoying thing is you have to wait until level 76 to be able to do the quests for the flight path at Nesingwary's camp.
Storm Peaks you are right about though. I think you have to be 77 to start getting quests there.

Did you actually try it? 'Cause you know, Wowhead is never wrong or anything... I distinctly remember being 75 when I got that quest, because I wasn't able to get a few of the quests at that level, I had to ding 76 to get those.
I might be wrong on the breadcrumb quest, but you CAN do the majority of the quests at Nesingwary Camp at 75.
