49 is about when people like to leave CoM. At 49 I would go to Dreadlands. Head to KC but stay outside in Dreadlands for a level or two. There are always a handful of players on the North, East and South walls to group or duo with. Plus soloing there should be a breeze as a lot of good pets to be found. Best part is if you die you can always go into KC and see if a cleric is sitting at the entrance LFG who can zone out and rez you.
You could breeze to 52 outside KC if you wanted to. Then head into KC and put up the LFG tag. Chanters are a very welcomed class as all groups want a CC player in the group. You could also pair up with a cleric and go duo for awesome XP. You grab a pet and cleric buffs you both and CH's the pet. I did this twice with a chanter and it was better XP then full groups.
Guilds. I would say Kittens Who Say Meow would be a good one. Very large guild with a lot of friendly folks. They raid but are very casual. Every applicant is accepted as there is no min level or gear requirements.
Good luck.
