Have you tried the Lake of Ill Omen yet? That's where I and my level
14 Shaman husband are hunting right now. There are planty of blue
and even mobs (and yellow and red to keep the adreneline pubmping) to
beat up on. We're fighting just north of the lake, not too far from
the river. I got about a bubble and a half of exp in around an hour
of fighting last night.

I also got a chance to practice a technique I learned from this
list. My husband pulled a goblin skirmisher and just as he was
reaching me, a goblin battlemaster decided to join in. We fought the
2 for a bit, but as the battlemaster was red to me and beating on me,
things were not going well. I decided discretion was the key here
and started to run toward the zone (I had SoW, so didn't need to fire
up Selo's). As I ran, with one mob behind me and one still fighting
my husband (who was doing fine with the one) I remembered some
discussions about crowd control and running circles with mobs in
tow. So I made sure I had my mandolin equipped and made a wide turn
back while healing myself. Once the battle was done I deposited the
extra mob back where we were originally fighting and we finished him
off. So much better getting exp on the 2 mobs than zoning.
