Level 92.
I've officially beaten my own record.
Still got quite a ton of exploring/treasure hunting to do. Not sure which zone I should quest in after I'm done: Townlong Steppes? Or should I skip ahead to Dread Wastes?

Level 93. I mostly got there with exploring, dailies, finding treasures, and a few more quests in Dread Wastes.
Right. Dread Wastes has been offering full XP. It's difficult because the risk of mobbing is always there, but it's still better than things will no doubt be after the patch. I also found the Shadow Pan dailies are quite doable and offer a ton of XP. If I had time, I'd slow down, do a few other Pandaren zones - maybe even all of them - but with the ever looming patch, I need to get into a garrison as soon as I possibly can.
It's the final day of the Darkmoon Faire today. I've bought the various items off the Auction House that can be turned in for XP - and have been waiting until the last possible moment before turning them in.
So here's the plan.
A round of treasure hunting this morning. My realm is always empty in the mornings so it's a really good time for it - I've found a ton of stuff so far. A round of dailies Dread wastes Darkmoon Faire
Hopefully this will take me to level 94, because then it's time for the great push into Draenor. Whether I get there the front way or the back way remains to be seen.

Level 100.
I stayed in Pandaria until level 96 or so. Did Pandaren dailies until level 97. Took the back way into Draenor and set up my garrison. At level 2, I've chosen the buildings: Stables (replaced the Barracks) Lumber Mill, Salvage Yard and Storehouse. Also upgraded the mine and herb garden. Did quests (and bonus objectives) in Frostfire Ridge until the XP diminished drastically, went to Spires of Arak to do a round of quests to get the Storehouse to be available, and then headed to Gorgrond, where I quested until I dinged 100.
I don't have Legion flying, so I will have to get that before I can venture into Legion zones. I haven't done much treasure hunting or exploring, figuring both could wait until after the patch. Today, I'll speed quest through as much of Draenor as possible. Really hoping to get a level or two into 100 before the patch.

I think you won't need Mist, WoD or Legion flying starting at 7.3.5

I've come close to dying a few times since arriving in Draenor, but never as close as I just came now. I was attempting the group quests offered by Beastmaster Tagh. The first one: Wanted: Kil'uun, was extremely difficult, but after successfully taking the bird down with my (level 99) tin/scout three times, I felt ready - and I was. Completed that successfully on my iron. Then I went on to Wanted: Ra'tok the Hammer. I found it so simple on my tin, I just did the quest once. My iron managed to miss healing my pet at the right time, and my pet was dead. I'd already used heart of the phoenix when fighting Kil, so I couldn't use that. I tried to raise my pet the normal way, during which Ra'tok took almost all of my health. Finally, I played dead, and for a horrible moment thought that thing where you try play dead but move so you lose it happened, but the spell was still available. Managed to play dead with barely a scrap of life left.
As I lay there, next to my dead pet, waiting for enough health to restore for me to feel comfortable moving, I reflected on the fact that, while this quest was offering me 6000xp at level 100, far more than most quests I'd been doing, that still would only translate to about 1% on my way to level 101. I reflected that all quests are still going excruciatingly slow, and I've been coming dangerously close to dying far more often than I would like.
I'm planning on taking a break after the patch to get Legion flying. Decided it's time to get that exploration XP now. Questing, right now, just isn't worth it.

Whaaat? That would be awesome, but I didn't read anything like it in the patch notes.

Sadly the flying thing only applies to things like cold weather flying and the four winds flying thing. From Wowhead: and So I definitely will still need to work on Legion flying.

Level 101.
Got there with exploration, treasures (mostly Spires of Arak and Nagrand), cashing in the first aid quest in Athari Highlands, and a little bit of questing including a Lumber Mill quest involving pulling a log off a guy for quite a lot of XP. And dailies, of course. Did the seal love daily for what'll no doubt be the last time. Never been able to do the Horde equivalent of the Winterspring Cubs daily, so won't be missing that.
Now I gotta finish getting flying in Legion, plus my holidays are over from tomorrow. So that last 9 levels are gonna probably take a long time. At least I'll be able to build up rested XP, I hate collecting treasures without it.
I have left both my iron and my tin naked, of course. Just in case.
(The fact that I am, yet again, just 9 levels away from max level is NOT lost on me.)

Patch 7.5.3 is live. I'm pleased to see treasures scale as well -yesterday Spires treasures were giving about 3k XP per treasure, while Gorgorond was only giving about 1k. Today I find that Gorgorond gives about 3k as well - 7500xp with the rested bonus. (It's giving a LOT more for my tin, who's level 100.) Meanwhile, got quite a long way to go re: Legion flying, so I'll slowly farm treasures when I've built up rested XP in between working on flying, and then resume speeding on ahead once I have flying.

Went to check how the stables dailies compare now the patch is live. Lol it did not go well. Riplash is level 101 for my level 100 tin now. Don't see myself gaining a lot of XP through those dailies anymore.

Good to see you're getting closer, good luck!! 'Love is in the air' world event is coming soon and the Lunar festival event follows on so it's something to look forward to for a little extra help Not sure why they altered the dates of the Lunar festival though as it usually starts in January, as far I remember it's the first event on the calendar.

RIP Discordiron, 0-102
I'm not even sure what happened. I reached 102 by collecting treasures, then decided to do a little questing in Frostfall Ridge. Tested a quest chain out on my tin, and completed it no problem. Moved over to my Iron, and the boss from the final quest killed me in a matter of seconds.
So that's the end of my second major attempt. So long, Ironman. See you again maybe next year.
