Well, there's no such place for a full group to pull that fast, either. Even a godly group is gonna end up clearing the place and then you gotta wait for re-pops.
Everybody has downtime, whether it be a group or solo. Same for everybody, in that regard.
Cobalt Scar was a great place for quads, mainly because the respawn timer on the mobs roughly coincided with your downtime if you had a brain buff. When I hunted there, and assuming that I wasn't competing with a bunch of druids for pulls (grrr), I could usually just keep pulling a new quad every five or ten minutes. Or to be more accurate, I could usually do two quads back-to-back, then med up for about ten minutes, and then run out and pull another two quads. And by the time I finished medding up after that, the first two groups of wyverns had re-popped. So really, the only major factor in the entire deal was downtime for medding... which as I say, would be an equal factor whether you solo'ed or grouped.

I do not believe this. In a balanced group, depending on the relative strength of what you are hunting, you can med up during fights, or sit one out, or use minimal mana on the easier fights...
A group can go more steadily without much downtime, in the grindier zones.
That is not to say they exp faster. I believe certain classes exp faster solo. The one HUGE advantage is not waiting on a group, waiting for people to be ready in a group, waiting on AFK for biobreaks, or waiting on a replacement healer/slower/tank which are necessary in some areas...
