if you just want to kill a lot of stuff really fast - as a priest - find a dependable mage to duo with.
The mage can run around collecting a half-dozen mobs and then spam instant Arcane Explosion while you bubble and heal like mad.
Leverages your strengths as a disc/holy priest and it's kind of an exciting healing situation.
The best area is one with 100% melee humanoids or undead.
Perhaps the two of you could easily solo some of the 30-50 instances for blue drops to sell.
I've never tried this combo with priest+warlock, but it might work well too.
...
as far as a fun class that levels fast and is fairly forgiving, I agree on a pet class. Never been hunter, but an Affliction warlock has very little downtime and no kiting. With the Succubus+DoTs you can kill very quickly too, but if you're prone to lapses of attention the Voidwalker would be better.
The fun thing about Warlocks is that you have a lot to do, what with pets, DoTs, and hard hitting ranged attacks. You can also self-rez once per half hour if you screw up.
You can just walk around a difficult area with your pet on aggressive and try to keep the two of you alive, if you like the chancy element ... ! Or you can mechanically down one mob at a time with the Voidwalker.
The 31 talent for Affliction Warlocks means never running out of mana, too, which is nice for a spellcaster.
