Wasting time worrying about TBC factions or heroics is a really, really, really bad idea.
Likewise, with the great gear dropping in Trial of the Champion and Conquest badges dropping in all heroics, there's almost no point in bothering with Northrend factions other than Hodir for the shoulder enchants any longer. By the time a new character is exalted with a Northrend faction and able to buy the epics they'll almost certainly have far better from Emblems or ToC runs.
Working on Hodir in Storm Peaks early is about the only useful advice in there.
EDIT: barrettj is totally right. Argent Crusade is needed too. They did make it much easier to get that one though since just doing the Tournament dailies gives you tons of it so you can probably focus on those and not mess with Argent Crusade dailies elsewhere.

I know grinding for TBC rep is useless, that's why I *only* mentioned the three Hellfire instances as being feasible, since pretty much everyone will be honored with those from questing alone when they hit 68 and head to Northrend. Assuming you want
[Idol of Terror] at 80 to start heroics, you need 20 badges, which is like 3 consecutive days of heroic Ramps + BF; That's 3x2 fast runs well spent.
Likewise, the other parts I mentioned all cover Argent Crusade rep. While you can *easily* get their rep with the Tournament and championing from level 77 onwards, you still have to quest to get there in the first place. For that, my point was that your time is way better spent in Zul'Drak so you get rep that actually makes sense, rather than stick in Grizzly Hills or head to Sholazar. Mind that I didn't refer to DAILIES in those areas, but the normal quests that you can do only once -- they give quite a bit of rep.
(And yes, I am aware that you can get to 80 without questing by doing BGs or instances all the way, but not everyone will want to do that.)
