Hurry up and wait!

So with the 3.02 patch pretty certain to be coming on October 14th, I've begun strategizing the best way to finish the push to 70 on my mage, who just hit 63 last night. As I mentioned before, 3.02 brings the reduced XP to level, so I'm trying to determine the best way to optimize my play to get the most benefit out of the changes.

Rested XP - this is a no-brainer, but it's more than just not playing until the patch hits. As soon as it hits, the clock to WotLK starts ticking again, so I don't want to be stuck sub-70 on release date. My current plan is to play just enough to keep my rested XP bar completely full at 1-1/2 levels (or 30 bars, for those of you on the original interface). So I've been jumping on for a few hours, doing a few quests, and then hopping off once I've used about 6 bars' worth. Actually, I'm using a Fubar addon called RestFu, which tells me how much longer I can rest before filling up, so I'm getting it to about 2-3 days before quitting a session.

Quest Turn-ins - One of my guildies suggested getting my entire quest log full of completed quests so that they can be turned in all at once once the patch. I'm using a leveling mod which leads me on the optimal patch of turn-ins, so it's a little tricky to do this since so many are chained. But with only a few days left anyway, I'm starting doing this as much as I can (I currently have about 6 completed quests in Zangermarsh ready to turn in).

That's about the only things I can think of to do other than the typical things (buy buff pots, keep gear upgraded, etc.). My big fear is that even with the leveling speed increase that I won't make it to 70 by launch. So if anyone has any other ideas, please leave a comment -- anything that can speed the journey is welcome!
