From experience.
Frost 2h for questing, but I'd go blood tank and do dungeons. Helps you get some tanking going.
Outland, ofcourse.
In exp: Questing > dungeons >>> bg's. Although dungeons and questing are pretty close if you get good groups.

You read everything on EJ? Every DK guide there? And you didn't get a straightforward answer? Really?
The following is taken from
a thread by Consider at EJ
:
Normally, I wouldn't even bother to address this, but with it being the very beginning of an expansion, I may as well toss a quick line or two on the subject. Unfortunately, leveling speed can't be quantified in the same manner as PvE dps, but that doesn't mean all specs are equal in this regard - certain talents/playstyles undoubtedly favor faster leveling; increased mount speed, increased run speed, 1 second GCDs, Butchery, Unholy Command, burst dps, disease independence, and so on. Only one build has all of these perks and more: Frost 2H. That isn't to say you can't level as Unholy or Frost DW - of course you can - merely that, objectively speaking, they're subpar speed-wise. More on the subject can be found here.

Frost 2H.
How is that not straightforward? He links to his blog for the actual spec and uses the MMO-Champion talent calculator at wowtal to show the spec, but I'll recreate it here:

Regardless, this is found in the FIRST SECTION of the thread, RIGHT AFTER the Table of Contents. Don't lie about reading the thread.

I read the guides. Where in that guide is the sentence:
FROST 2H IS THE BEST LEVELING SPEC.
Those seven words directly next to each other is what I qualify as straightforward.
Hey, guys, this author lists off a @#$%load of bonuses and perks and things that are nice to have while leveling, then says only one spec has them, names the spec, links to it and explains why this spec is so badass all while saying the other specs are lackluster for leveling.
But this isn't straightforward enough.
If all the guy said was "AMG 2H FROST FO' LIFE AND LEVELIN', YO" you'd come on here and get pissed he didn't link the spec. If he linked the spec, you'd start berating him for not explaining why it's better than DW Blood. If he explained how DW Blood was awful and terrible, you'd get pissed because DKs are too complex and demand he spoon-feed you a talent breakdown. When he provided that, you'd get further pissed about why X Glyph sucks compared to Y Glyph and how as 2H Frost you can't beat Overpowered PvP class of the week, then decry the whole spec as awful because you lost a duel against someone 4 levels higher.
Someone points out the most obvious part that answers your question, spoon-feeds you the spec, shows the resource where you can learn more, even quotes the most important parts to reduce it down to the most simplistic form possible and you get upset because someone didn't tell you in exactly the phrasing you want.
15 seconds of reading and critical thought could have saved you 15% dignity or more.

At any rate, there's a tanking sticky here; read it.
Yes, Outlands. Where the hell else would you go for 60+? Been the same place for 2-3 years.
Leveling, it doesn't matter. Quests, instances, BGs, whatever. These are all general-knowledge questions and can be found in the general forums here on Wowhead.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Gnub##DELIM##
