I'd like to suggest that a full group is perhaps not the most efficient way to go about things. Today in Crushbone on my level 10 warrior, I camped slaver caves with a 9 monk and 9 druid, and despite a lot of the centurions being green or light blue, I gained a full level in about two hours. Of course this is Crushbone at level 10 so it's faster than a later-level group, and I am somewhat twinked (char's gear is worth about 1-1.5k), but the experience was very noticeably faster than any full group I ever had at slaver caves. We had basically no downtime and kept everything down, just straight-up chain pulling.
This doesn't mean that grouping is necessarily faster than soloing, but I would suggest that maybe a duo or trio actually is faster in certain situations, maybe with the caveat that you have to compare against a druid or a shaman soloer rather than a mage or necro.
