So, a lot of folks are doing Eastern Plaguelands from 40-45, because the Fiona caravan quests are awesome, but I decided to try Thousand Needles on my warrior instead. It is pretty awesome too. You get a boat! (And the intro quests give you an underwater breathing/swim speed buff whenever you're in the zone afaict.) [I completely finished the zone, and the boat does not go away either. HECK YES BOAT.]
First, you fight pirates! (Well, first you start a barfight between the gnomes and the goblins in the raceway ruins and it's awesome.) Here's my warrior chillin' with the ghost of Captain Tony Two-Tusk. He's pretty chill. I don't know how hard he actually is to kill because some 80 was questing in the area and just invited me and one-shot him. He's elite, though, so probably pretty hard.
Then you have to do some sort of sketchy shit involving oil and centaurs, but it opens up a really awesome series of quests where the nelfs and tauren are battling the Grimtotem, and turns into a series of "escort" quests where you fight some elite Grimtotems with an awesome Sentinel. (Although, warning: she doesn't really get the concept of pulling dudes to you instead of charging right in. We ended up with some 6-7 mob pulls 'cause she was charge happy.) I didn't get any caps from that because I was too busy trying not to die, but one of the questgivers there is a smite spamming priest.
You also get to hang out with some baaaaaaby wind riders, and infiltrate the Twilight Hammer cult again. I have sort of a soft spot for this guy now.
And then Magatha Grimtotem possibly dupes you into doing something to further her plots or something, but you look awesome doing it.
So what I actually learned from Thousand Needles was that Pummel is awesome, and I should Rebuke more on my paladin. INTERRUPTS ARE THE BEST.
Also, warrior question: I assume as Fury I'll be using Slam much like my ret pally uses Exorcism? That is, only when I've talented into it and it procs to be an insta-cast?
Also also, the warrior still hasn't died outside of that time she got one-shot by the Shade of the Horseman when she was like level 7. Clearly, I should learn how to tank on her because I feel like such an indestructible badass whenever I play her.
AND an important hunter question! Bertinelli's currently rolling with a plagued bear because I am bad enough at moving and shooting that I really wanted a tanking pet. On the other hand, I really, really, really also want a darkhound. I know that I could wait until 40 and tame a proper plaguehound, but I'd like to have a ferocity pet for dungeoning. I guess I should see what's in Silverpine around the level she'll be getting her second active pet slot.

Correct on Fury
Although, admittedly, it doesn't matter that much until you've got raging blow, which is when you go from not having enough attacks to fill all your cooldowns, to having almost enough to fill all your cooldowns.
I'd ask my room-mate, the fury warrior, for more detail, but he hasn't leveled his warrior since LK came out, what with being Raid Leader and Kingslayer.
Re: Correct on Fury
Or maybe that's just me.
