We'll talk about a guide which will show you how to get there super fast so you too can be a level healing Priest. Priests get more attention from players than any other healing class, because most people associate Priests with healing and other classes with tanking or damage dealing. When you log in as a high level Priest, expect to get whispers immediately from players hungry for a healer.
You do not look for picking up groups before you are level 70-80 unless you a veteran player who wants to revisit low level instances for fun. Most low level pick up groups are an exercise in misery for a healer because everyone is off spec for their class, no one is well geared and many are still learning how to play their class.
Wailing Caverns or Scarlet Monastery is not going to advance your healing career. You can skip the low level instances unless you've a higher level character to run you through for the sake of getting some exp, gear and quests. The only exception to the rule is if you have found some experienced players who want to work on their low level characters. Finally, it slows down your leveling while you wait for a pick up group and even more time consuming when they go AFK, leave early and fight over loot.
Leveling a Priest is not as easy as leveling a hybrid or pure DPS class. Because your DPS is lower and you are dependent on mana, you will gain experience points much slower. Do not count on getting instance runs and leveling as a healer 1-60 for the reasons previously mentioned. There are two methods of leveling a Priest that are effective and will get you to level 80 quickly.
The first method is Recruit-A-Friend. First off, old school leveling sucks because it's slow and tedious. Leveling moves fastest if you use the Recruit-A-Friend program and Dual box your two characters. Recruit A Friend gives a straight up triple experience point gain for both mob kills and quest turn ins and the ability to summon the other character once an hour. If you use this program, you'll get a Zhevra Epic Mount and earn levels that you can grant to your Priest. Having leveled up multiple level 80 characters the old way, including a Priest, Recruit-A-Friend is a godsend. Level up with a DPS class or even faster if you level two DPS classes and grant levels to the new Priest. If you can get instance runs and dual box, it is possible to get to level 60 in a couple days of game time, if not hours.
The second method is to solo shadow Priest. Shadow Priests enjoy the highest DPS of any of the Priest talent trees and skills that regenerate mana because they can burn down mobs faster and regain their mana faster, they level faster than Priests of the other talent trees. If you already have level 80 characters consider obtaining heirloom items for your Priest to make the leveling faster and more mana efficient. Consistently choose talents, gear and glyphs which enhance your ability to kill quickly and regain your mana.
As above these two methods may help you get to level 80 fastest. Good luck!
