Death Knight Preparation

There are a couple things you can collect now, for quest turn ins to gain easy XP for your Death Knight.....to help him level faster. First of all, there are the Argent Dawn turn ins in Eastern Plaguelands. To be able to get the quest, you will need to be friendly with Argent Dawn, so that means doing a few quests in EPL and WPL. When you hit Friendly, you can get these quests in Light's Hope Chapel to collect 30 each of the following:

Core of Elements
Crypt Fiend Parts
Bone Fragments
Savage Fronds
Dark Iron Scraps

Each turn in (first time only) is worth 9550 XP, so that is a cool 47750 XP that you can net from items you can farm up now, since they are not soul bound.

The second thing you can do is start collecting wool, silk, mageweave and runecloth. Each faction has cloth turn ins that give you XP and they are located in:

Two in Ironforge
Stormwind
Exodar
Darnassus

Two in Orgrimmar
Undercity
Silvermoon City
Thunder Bluff

The quests are located by the tailor trainers (usually) at NPC's called Cloth Quartermaster and the name of the quest is "A Donation of...." For each of the 5 turn ins you will need 3 stacks (60 pieces) of wool, 3 stacks of silk, 3 stacks of mageweave, and 3 stacks of Runecloth. Multiply that times the 5 turn in locations and you have 15 stacks of each type of cloth, 60 stacks total. Hope you have lots of inventory space ! You must turn in the three lower level cloths in order to get to runecloth. Your reward is 17650 XP for each turn in....a hefty amount for doing nothing but forking over cloth. 88250 total....definitely worth your while, and as an added bonus, you get rep with each of your faction's races !

Happy DKing !
