I was actually hoping it was for a long time. Great endeavour and all 
that :-)

If you were stuck there is always a mage portal.

Several times at xpac release everyone got booted back to sw and mass 
panic ensued. You can get back to draenor at the SW portal island where 
the cata portals are.  It sends you to the beached ship near garrison.

Most set hs to ashran/stormshield when they get sent there at 91, then 
the portal there to sw and of course garrison hs.
The 91 quest issued from garrison is take a free flight to stormshield, 
go and speak to the innkeeper, go and speak to the faction vendor, go 
and speak to someone standing next to the portals, get your (first) 
follower.
   During the intro quests I was just mass slaughtering everything that 
moved in the instanced areas because I had a feeling afterwards it would 
be just bedlam. Intro day and it took an hour to click a few trees, I 
got credit for bird kills and only saw one live bird,I was 90.75 or so 
by the time garrison was built, did the first quest outside the new 
garrison, piled on for a few skulls along with 50 others, poor skulls 
didn't know what hit them, checked out the nearest event area I stumbled 
into, the crossed swords.
Ding, so much for stuck in the new world.

If you are going to proceed for alliance:

In gorgrond lvl 92-94 the best zone special is the lumber mill, the 
slasher? you get is nice and lets you quickly do the nearby events. 
Apart from one quest where it says to slash a barrier.
pop slasher, slash, slash ,slash...no effect..oh..'use your slasher' = 
click on this barrier fortunately you don't need the slasher too soon.

In Talador the wrynn artillery tower is the best.
Seriously 'angel looking over me' feeling.
It was like having New Zealand artillery backing you up.
I am OZ, not NZ , but NZ arty is a bit of a legend in local circles and 
had some resonance.
Nonetheless it is the one to go for, you can nuke -most- skulls in 
seconds solo. I am getting crucified, please please , cooldown tick, 
incoming .. whamwhamwham whamwham wham WHAM wham wham WHAM loot :-)
The garrison plan quest has a witch lordfight near the end.
Bugged, 'use your rocket boost now!', yeah,like the other 5 times and it 
didn't work..oh something happened, you mean this is supposed to be 
fairly easy and not a 10 minute slog ? :-)

In araak 96-98, go for the smugglers den, every 10 minutes an npc to buy 
several powerful 1 hour buffs with a chance for unique 28 slot bag and 
other goodies.

In nagrand the riding mount is best special, but a bit of a pain. It 
just would not ride straight, always jumping off cliffs running into mob 
packs and such, I really really dislike wolf packs, but at least you 
could fight and try to ride away.

  Throughout there are a lot of bugged quests, misleading text, maps not 
quite right.
