Get a group together before you go into contested areas. I'm a lvl 22 [holy] 
priest on the alliance side, but I belong to a small group (a lvl 24 mage, 2 
lvl 23 warriors, and a 25 pally) that are able to complete some of the 
quests. That said, a group made up of low lvl 20s is about the minimum on my 
realm (Kil'Jaedon).

I'm a priest, however, so I am very conservative about what quests I attempt 
on my own. Speaking for myself, I would never attempt a quest in a contested 
area as a solo priest.

Cheers and good luck,

Michael
