Doing these quests first will get you xp yes. You cant skip quests, at least not all of them as you need them to unlock quests in the new zone otherwise you won't have any quests to do. The quests are very linear now not like before so you will get to the next zone after ppl who didnt hand in the dailies just with a little more xp but behind in quests.
Some people don't want to mess around. Getting to 85 asap or even trying for the realm first achievement is fun for them. If you were doing the dailies anyway for the gold, it's basically the same thing except you are waiting till 12:01 am PST to turn them in. There is also a lot of people with multiple alts that may rush to 85 on their main and then take the time to enjoy the zones later on while leveling those alts.
There is a good reason behind it though. It's free xp and it will help you level faster. This is most people's number one goal for cata. They want to start raiding and experiencing new content/dungeons asap. Once they get their first toon to 85 and start raiding, they will take their time leveling alt(s) because by that time there should also be less people questing (at least in the starting zones).

What if you dont wait until you reach 82 before handing in the quests? You could do Hyjal ahead the crowd until your are 82 - 400k xp and then go to icecrown give in 20 quests ( i think 5 free slots for quests are enough for hyjal) and ding 82 -> go to deepholm. This way you would have to do 2 or 3 quests more in hyjal but you wont be 5 minutes late and it's way more likely to be ahead of everyone else, which will let you quest a lot faster.
Any thoughts on this one ? For me this sounds like the best solution :x
It's funny what people do to try and get realm firsts.
Soo desperate thats a sign of underlying medical issues.
Meanwhile, everyone else jumps 5/6 quests ahead of you in the new zone and your stuck in the bubble with others. Being ahead of the bubble of most people is what will make you level faster due to less competition, if you want to make use of those dailys, wait until your within range of 82 and then turn them in to head deepholm.
Good idea with the dailies, thanks
Personally this doesnt matter to me, i've loaded my quest log on 2 of my 80's sure, since they are the last 2 im gonna level and by that point i'll want it fast, but for the first couple im doing every cata quest in every cata zone for the lore and sheer awesomeness of it, have fun skipping that
