I leveled an NE druid to ~13 without leaving Teldrassil. There are a few errand quests right in Shadowglen, and some Shadowglen <-> Dolonaar quests. Grinding at low levels is effective, but it gets really boring and the drops are poor at best. Some of the early quests have great payoffs for that level.
