Is it faster to level as dps?

I'm currently leveling a shaman, and I like healing, and I like dps.
Level 54 now, and lately it seems that bludgeoning as a healer is going very slowly. Tanks DC, go afk, etc, etc, it takes forever to run an instance, and at the end, I get a few XP bars.
It seems if I simply solo as DPS, and wait in a 40 min queue only when I can do quests in an instance, it will be faster.
Anyone has any actual numbers to compare instancing vs. solo?

Queasting as dps ftw. A guildmate and I compared lvling styles for cataclysm. Very little rested xp. no raf. He did straight questing. No randoms no battlegrounds. I did questing, randoms and a few battlegounds. He left me in the dust. I even had the heirloom shoulders and chest. Questing can easily be the fastest way to lvl imo. ut if you are not in a hurry, do what you think is most fun.

I'd use the LFG system to mix it up while leveling. Me personally, I ran instances as a healer on my priest from 1-60 with no issues. Once I got into the Outlands dungeons past Ramps, it all went downhill for some reason. Maybe it was all the DKs.
At that point I would just switch and run quests as dps. I recently just finished leveling my new Worgen Hunter from level 1 to 85. It took 4 days, 11 hours, 48 mins total played time. No profs, some side projects taming spirit beasts and a really cool lava turtle, on a pvp server, but mainly questing straight through. This was with the 20% heirloom chest and shoulder, and guild perks as well.
Takes no time at all now.
