Hellfire was hell, when you got to the Purified Hellboar Meat quest, and a pretty much every other quest with low drop/spawn rates. (Overlord, the Drillmaster, etc)
(Never managed to level from 60 to 70 on a PVP realm to this day, actually, mostly because I couldn't be bothered to farm stuff I couldn't send over from my main, not because of the PVP scene)

This is actually the exact opposite of what I experienced on my PvP server - there was extraordinarily little PvP going on in Hellfire and Zangarmarsh for the first week or two of BC (excluding fighting around the towers). The only other time that I've seen so little PvP is during the truce that was called while we ground our AQ gate open. People used their shiny new PvP epics to level and I suspect much the same will happen with the S3/4 gear that will be prevalent when Wrath finally arrives.
