11 barbarian shaman
11 halfling rogue

It sure felt like we had to kill 10 to 15 yellow to red mobs to get the same xp as me soloing 1 con even mob.

With that setup, you would only get 1/10th of the xp for each kill because you only have about 1/10th of the total xp in the group. Since your group is full, there is a 10% bonus to each kill's xp. Even so, you are only getting 1/9th of the xp you would get if you killed the mob solo. Therefore, you would have to kill 9 mobs of a given level to gain the same xp you could get for soloing them.
In contrast, if all your group mates had been level 9, then you would be getting almost 1/5th of the xp per kill relative to what you could get by soloing the mob.
The effects of a couple levels difference are MASSIVE at low levels because of the way the xp curve scales. For grouping to be worth it at low levels you need to be as close as possible in level and killing things that are too hard for you to solo or killing things many times faster than you could solo.
