I too have yet to do any hardcore grinding, i quested before reaching the 5999/6000 rep cap from instances, and i have found it very easy to get to revered with most of them, only one im not is lower city i think, not 100% sure because im not ingame at the moment, but i thought that The Mag'har was a faction that you also needed revered for?

I got revered with all the factions that give heroic keys except Lower City.
I didn't try to optimise it in any way, and since I rushed to level, I did all quests and only 1-2 instances until I dinged 70. Then a few runs of each instance and dinged revered without any trouble. Running Shadow Labs 3-4 times will get me Revered with Lower City also.
Getting to exalted in normal mode is totaly doable but quite a grind, since my estimated rep gain / run is about 1.5 - 2k (aproximate guess). I think heroic give at least +25% rep.

Note about Shat'ar. You get spillover rep with them by repping Aldors/Scryers. This however stops at 5999/6000 friendly.

This. I don't see why anyone would intentionally swap the point of the instance "grind" from the end to the beginning. You're going to be running a few of the instances multiple times at some point during the "Trail of Keys," so why not do it at the end wherein you'll: gain rep, gear yourself up pre-raid, make more money, see drops that would see actual application at 70.

Seems silly to me, anyway.
