Leveling speed to 90?

I don't have access to the Beta, so I'm wondering what sort of times we're looking at? I'll be leveling a Hunter in pretty standard gear (378 sort of level), and be mining and skinning at the same time as leveling.
I'm just asking because I saw a Lore video in which he said that the key to getting into raiding guilds, above everything else, is being 90 before everyone else. Doesn't matter what achievs you have if you're still 87 when they're raiding!
So yeah just trying to figure it out. Bet it's going to be horrible, fighting for veins with everyone else and quest mobs etc :*(

if you are in a guild that raids now, then you should be fine.
But LFR will be available with raids as soon as MOP launches. If DS was any indications, you are in for nothing but heartaches if you try to LFR the first few weeks. All the pain of 25 people learning a new encounter, without any of the usual communications that makes a second attempt better than the first.
Nothing I´ve seen so far indicates that it is any slower then Cata, so expect many people to be 90 by the end of the first week, and most ´normal´ players within 2 weeks. Guilds are pretty mature now, so if you are not in a guild that is going to raid the first two weeks, it is unlikely that another guild will add you the first week just because you happen to be 90.
If you want to raid early, my advise is get into a guild that is still doing DS now, get to know them, then when MoP launches, make sure you are one of the first 10 in your guild to get to 90.

I've already made bestest of buddies with a few of the HC DS raiders in my guild. Despite the fact I've never raided they seem impressed with what I do with my gear level, so when I get my chars to 90 I'm confident I can get in with them. It's mainly the question of WHEN will I get to 90 that is bugging me!
As I say, no raid experience (read up on all fights a lot, but practice>>>theory any day I guess) - I need to be up there and getting geared through heroics when they are.

The level speed actually seems a little similar to the Cataclysm leveling. It "may" be a little slower due to lack of flying, but it's enjoyable.
