Heres a list of some spots to aoe, contributed by mardy. (slightly modified by Ghaal @ Boulderfist ;>

Please post if you find any broken links !

Post is now UPDATED as of 15th of april2008

First off i'd recommend to go for Stamina and Intellect in gear for aoe levling. Spell damage doesn't matter very much. since pre level mid 60`s you will need to gimp sta and/or intl to get +spell dmg(alott of low level stuff got +spelldmg added in last patch <3 so you now mostly get it as a bonus along with the other stats :o)


I suggest that you do quests until level 24-25ish and then start to do aoe at the places belove ( since frankly, you wont do that good before u get some talent into frost tree imp blizzard and the fact that you don`t get blizzard before lvl 20 :> so you will do more xp pr hour by questing and stuff :> from lvl 1 -25

Here is alittle tutorial if you dont know how to aoe grind : http://youtube.com/watch?v=2tpSI2xGmGs&feature=related
================================O_o=============================================
(Level: 25-29) Skeletal Undead - Raven Hill Cemetary (Duskwood)
http://thottbot.com/ss40983

(this is a GREATE spot also the Gy is really close ( not that greate for horde tho, since there is quite alott of allys add`s around :>)

(Level: 21-24) Bael'dun Dwarves - Bael'Dun Dig Site (Barrens)
http://thottbot.com/c3375/z17/b

( very easy to get adds =( so pay attention to mobs around before pull, since its a loooong walk from gy)

(Level: 21-25) Foulweald Furbolgs [Bring a Healer] (Ashenvale)
http://thottbot.com/c3748/z331/b

(Level: 22-26) Hillsbrad Farmers/Peasants - Hillsbrad Fields (Hillsbrad Foothills)
http://thottbot.com/c2403/z267/b

(you shod bring a mage friend or a healer for this, since you often get adds. ( you shod also pick up the quest for this spot in tarren mill(Horde), since the you do get somewhat decent xp from those)

(Level: 23-31) Highperch Wyverns (Thousand Needles)
http://thottbot.com/c4107/z400/b

(Level: 26-28) Hillsbrad Miners/Sentrys- Azureload Mine (Hillsbrad Foothills) http://thottbot.com/c2269/z267/b

(I sugest to bring another mage or a priest here, since u dont get alott of space to move in therefore cant use blizzard to well, and mobs hit kinda hard)

http://thottbot.com/c898/z10/b

(Level: 33-36) Crushridge Ogres (Alterac Mountains)

(Level: 33-36) Scorpid Reavers/Terrors - Shimmering Flats (Thousand Needles)
same as before http://thottbot.com/c4139/z400/b

The Basilisks are grouped nicely but personally there are not enough to make it worthwhile http://thottbot.com/c4147/z400/b

(Level: 35-38) Mirefin Murlocs - NE of Zone (Dustwallow Marsh)
The next best spot, For a frost mage i'd advise doing this spot until 44, just a filler until you get your next blizzard http://thottbot.com/c4359/z15/b

Unstickying this as the links to the maps no longer work, it's still a great guide though. If you decide to update I'd recommend giving http://www.wowdigger.com a look for maps.
