Good advice... I'd like to add don't worry about leveling, get busy having fun in your current level. I find that overall there isn't a huge difference between being in a group at level 15 vs level 50. In fact, there can be more challenge and fun to be had at lower levels. Plus so many good low/mid level dungeons that go under utilized.

I see you changed your avatar to a more recent picture

This is the real reason that grouping is faster leveling than soloing. You're too busy with pulls or (hopefully) interacting with your group mates during down time to even look at your exp bar. If you're soloing, you're probably looking at it after every kill (or like me, timing it so you can see the bar move when you make the kill) to determine if you're killing "good experience" mobs.
