Same here.

They should have achievements like, "Hardcore Leveler" or "Level 800" for insane people like us. I had 7 at 60 before BC and I'll have all 9 before Wrath.

I only had 2 of them to 60 before BC, and most of the leveling on the others was done before the XP increase patch (or decrease depending on how you look at it).

April 2007 - 70,64,50, 35, 32, 14, 11, 10, 10

Sept 2008 - 70, 70, 70, 70, 70, 70, 70, 66.4, 66.3

i lucked out around those levels; i got my alt to around 52-53 when the midsummer festival, and after running all the fire dowsing/lighting runs, all my alts went from 53 straight up to 58-59

Currently in Beta you reach about level 63 before leaving HFP. I'm thinking 3 zones max before you can head to Northrend. :)

Well, it's going into the PTR stage, so I would guess soon.

I'd expect about a month, maybe month and a half. Don't hold your breath, keep on playing the game!

Nope, its the same way it happened last time. Its percentaged based. If you were 90% of the way to leveling before the patch, you'll be 90% of the way to leveling after the patch, the exact numbers involved will just change. The only time I have seen a numbers change was on the beta when they recentlyish upped the XP requirements, leaving a lot of people who had been a bar from leveling with almost a whole half a level to go.

If it's anything like the last xp change (patch 2.3?) then no. If you are 98.6% to the next level pre patch, you will be 98.6% post patch.

But if it took 700 xp pre patch and 500 xp post patch, that remaining 1.4% is a small amount until the next level.

Spellpower, as well as pretty much every other class and gear change, should be in this patch. The only thing you won't have will be the new Northrend content and the ability to play a Death Knight.
