I imagine Horde do the same thing and start the quests to get there - just in Org instead of SW.

A Note On Mob Difficulty:
As a DK, my solution to this was, past 82/83ish when the mobs really start to hit hard and if you get adds, you can die (yes, true story, you can die again while questing if you get adds), to level in tank spec while wearing DPS gear. I specced blood but kept my DPS gear. I was facerolling 5 mobs without dying while I was watching the other melee being crushed around me in beta.

Is there any real advantage to what zone you start in?
In my opinion, there is a quite non negligible part of the WoW player base that is suffering of aquaphobia, meaning they hate underwater zones. So, still in my opinion, the underwater area will be sensibly less populated than Mt Hyjal, which is not only an aerial area, but also a place many want to visit since a long time.
I leveled my DK twice to 85 and both were via DPS armor on my Blood Tanking Spec, which I did modify slightly to put more points into DPS based talents.
I am not sure if you are aware of this, as only a few of us know it, but with the use of Lichborne at 81, you can heal yourself with Death Coil. Lichborne has a 2 minute refresh so obviously, this is something you will do either when you are low on health or during a big fight, but the possibility is there to heal yourself and a DC will heal you for about 15000 health per shot.

I gave a shot to this, but it's not as efficient overall as it seems to be. The blood spec + dps gear solution is way more efficient in my own experience.
But until 82, there's no reason to go blood. Go frost (or unholy) and faceroll.

If you are not buying CE you might as well digital download from the Blizzard store.

Do you actually need to download anything (other than probably a large patch tomorrow)? My understanding was that we already had the content anyway ... isn't this just an account flag issue at this point?

Are there any disadvantages to getting the boxed copy other than the inconvenience of going to a store?

You'll probably have a slight content download, whereas those with digital copies are presumably all set, but otherwise not really.
