Honestly it didnt feel that long to me, not nearly as long as other expansions. I enjoyed myself, never felt rushed and never felt like i stayed too long in one zone. Leveling experience was fantastic for me. I hope they will do more experience boost potions, maybe alchemist crafted.
It is possible to do it in 12 hours without rushing like crazy, while still leveling fast.
For me both in alpha and beta it was more around 20 hours as both time I was exploring and being casual .. so my bet would be somewhere around that, if you want to enjoy the leveling process and explore.
Ps: Didn't do any profession stuff at all -it might change it a bit, as you gain XP from herb \ mining stuff. But then again, I didn't search for them which saved me a bit time.
Took me about 1hr 30min-2hr15min per level. I remember 109 was actually the fatest went 109-110 in like 1hr 30mins. Finished the 4 level zones (all story chapters done) and had 2 more story chapters left in my final leveling zones after reaching 110. Leveling EXP seems about perfect I had only done 1 dungeon during leveling.
i was able to do about a qauter of highmountains to get freindly, you seem to get honored if you do all of them
also for me to reach max level it took me about 12 hours (this is on beta so alot of bugs/lag/dcing+ i was reporting bugs, also doing professions and doing the quests that maybe dont give a ton of exp off in my hall/dalaran)
i found a good dictate is it takes about 3 zones, if you do the dungeons at the end, and alos do a few off quests
8-9 hours of casual gameplay.
28 hours as healer. I was done in 3 zones (I went Stormheim->Highmountain->Azsuna) but finished every single quest and did 10+ 5mans (which was a mistake in hindsight). I'll probably go much faster on live, no need to read everything anymore and hopefully the bugs will be gone.
Have levelled 4 chars to 110 on the beta, quickest I have done it was 7 Hours 30 or so. Longest was the 1st char which was 12 hours or so, but he was the guinea pig that found all the npc's you need to kill hidden in caves where the entrance to the cave is nowhere near the mob is indicated on the map
Speed leveling and reading texts/understanding lore are two fundamentally contradicting activities. The whole point of speed leveling is ignoring the quest description, or any other cinematic/description for that matter, and optimizing the time it takes to max level. Sometimes, you even ignore the quests and just farm mobs etc. You either don't know what "looking for speed" in WoW leveling terms, or you are like the guy who quoted.

You shouldn't take the beta leveling time as a measurement imo.
XP requirements for each level have always been increased significantly in prior expansions before the game went live.
Been practicing a bit over the past few weeks and have been averaging about 35-45 minutes per level, while noticeably slowing down towards the end. Can definitely improve on these times with a levelling partner or two. I'd imagine levelling as a group of 5 geared players would be the fastest method.
6 to 8 hours should be no problem if u rush
It isn't that long. When it was a premade toon it felt a lot slower. But once I copied over my character with mythic gear the first 3-4 levels were so cheese it wasn't even funny.
15 hours for the average person.
Can probably be done in 10 or less with ideal pathing
