I don't really agree, for the most part. You are just moving instances around, and not in your favor. For example, Thrallmar. It's 21k to revered, and lets say the quests are good for 8k of it. That means you need to get 13k from instnances - either 5 SH runs and 2-3 Ramp/BF runs or 12 BF/Ramps runs and 3 SH (numbers are probably off somewhat, but not enough to change the calculations). Then you have the awkwardness of the main Ramp/BF questline requires some outside questing prereqs. Then there's the fact that if you can't find a group, you are mindlessly grinding instead of doing quests - usually you get far more xp for questing. Then there is the fact that when you actually go back and do the quests, you get less xp for many of them, because they are green now. As far as I can tell, its a lose-lose-lose proposition to get out of a couple of SH runs.
For CE, the big difference is that you have the RRQ which is pretty cheesy. Maxing rep with that makes revered trivial, and doing so is super easy if you have a raid geared main who is an herbalist. It has the side benefit of giving you all the Sporeegar rep you can handle, if you want the earth->water recepie or the knife.
Lower city is pretty much the same as Thrallmar. There is a RRQ, but I don't find the drop rate to be worth it.
KoT and Sha'tar the regular instances go through to exaulted. There's no reason to change things around.
