I think altering the ilvl of gear would be the easiest way for blizzard to implement a mentoring system. Say you are wearing ilvl 150 items and you want to join your level 20 friend in the Deadmines.

20/70 ~ 28%

ilvl 150 * 28% = ilvl ~43

Remove the set bonuses and make the stat bonuses equal to an ilvl 43 item. This person is going to outgear the instance (in this case by about 15 ilvls but that's sort of irrelevant in a mythical test case) but their level will still be appropriate for the instance and probably their HP/Mana and to hit rolls.

I don't think this would be that hard to develop.
