This is a guide showing how you can use a level 70 mage to boost characters that are linked by Recruit a Friend. The first 10 levels are done by questing and the guide takes over all the way to 60. It is from an Alliance perspective but I also give alternatives to the Alliance only instances.
I used mostly T6 gear (haste gems) for lower levels and switched to S4 gear for higher levels. Due to the AoE damage cap and the amount of mobs, stamina gear is all that is really needed. Decent spell damage gear makes no difference at all. Any mage kitted out with over 10-11k of HP can do this.
Any talent spec will be fine up till SM: Lib.
This is what I used after.
This method is possible without any multi-boxing software, however it is simple and easy to learn to control three clients without switching between windows. I used "Keyclone".

It is possible to level a total of 7 characters to 60 in about 16 hours /played. This is done by:
1: Link 4 accounts up by RaF. You can boost characters for friends by making them set up the account in their name and they have to log into the account and follow you around while you boost them to 60.
2: Start again with the first three accounts and boost to level 31. (The last account in the chain only gets one level 60)
3: Use the free 30 levels you got from the first set of characters to level the second set to 60. Go to 95% through lvl 31 to get 95% through level 60 for an easier time in outlands.
Three accounts have two level 60's, and the last account has one. These can then be transferred to the associated accounts. It is also possible for these boosted chars to give levels to a new batch of two level 31's up to 60. (4 new chars -> 3 chars -> 2 chars etc)
Note: I did not buy TBC on one of the accounts to roll a shaman. I used the 10 day trial of TBC and leveled to 60 in that time, then transferred the account across without any problems.
