Haven't played it much yet, but I'm enjoying myself. (And yes, the bombing runs are very cool.:D) I like the fact that there are flight masters all over the zone, which makes it very easy to get around.
For the number of players in Hellfire Pen., everything seems fairly stable, and the mobs respawn fast enough that I can get my quests done with relative ease. I was a little disappointed with the conclusion of the Expedition Armory questline. It was certainly enjoyable, I just wanted something a little more challenging to finish it off.
Gear wise (PvP blues and rep. rewards) I've only upgraded my cloak and wand so far, although if I wasn't enchanted up the wazoo I would probably have picked up a couple more items. I also get the sense that I'll be upgrading pretty soon just for quest rewards, and would almost certainly find something to my taste if I ran Ramparts.
PvP wise, a strange truce has settled on Hellfire. I keep seeing people that would normally attack me (and vise-versa) just run past, which is an interesting feeling. (Makes me very nervous.) Miraculously I've only been ganked once (it was a misunderstanding to boot), and only MC'ed off the edge of the world once - which was kind of funny. You get the sense that the peaceful aura that's currently in Outlands won't last long, and life will certainly get interesting once it breaks.:D
I also wandered over to Shattarah (spelling?) which seems like an awesome base of opperations. Very well layed out, banks and mailboxes all over the place, interesting backstory. All in all, it has a very cool feel to it. (Reminds me a little of Sigil for the DnD fans out there.) The various reputation rewards in Shattarah look very interesting as well.
Like I said, I'm enjoying myself, but I'm also looking forward to leaving Hellfire. I'm getting a little tired of dessert style zones. (And incredibly sick of caves-with-lava instances. Do you hear me Blizzard?! RFC was cool and all, but I'm over it.)
