How'd I manage that?

So surprisingly despite my slow and seemingly backwards way of playing, ie. doing all I could of Outlands solo instead of plowing through Northrend I finally managed to get a character to the coveted level cap in WoW, specifically my Tauren druid not my death knight. The DK is next simply so he can help level grind other characters through lower levels. Of course I'll need a passenger mount so he can be extra effective... oh the things I do for the game.
