Is that not offset by increased xp gain for killing expansion mobs?
Short answer is "no" in the case of Velious. Velious mobs have high HPs and there are no good ZEMs anywhere on the continent. The dungeons are pretty but they are meant for loot, not for xping up.
Kunark is fine though, in fact even more desirable in a lot of cases. Some of the best ZEMs in the game for the level of the dungeon can be found there - Kurn's Tower and Kaesora are two good examples. I'm more or less convinced that Dalnir's is higher than the baseline, too. XP there has been really good when I've broken through to the second and third levels.

Paineel faction is done fast by killing guards in Erudin palace. Have the 60 monk kill them and tag with other character.
Yeah, my SK did this when I was 45 or so. Didn't take long to get amiable with the Heretics, even solo, as an ogre SK. A few hours, around there.

Also, I see you have already chosen a shaman as your duo partner, which I think is a wise choice. Someone else earlier in the thread summed up the tradeoffs for monk/shm vs. sk/shm quite well. My experiences duoing with shamans have been very positive. I would say they are a shadowknight's best duo option.
