The best advice I can give you to help with leveling up and getting groups, is to put people on your friends list that you had a good time grouping with. Then, when you log in and see those folks on, send them a tell and say "Hello!" You may not group with them that day, but they're much more likely to remember you fondly and will usually ask you to fill a slot when they are putting a group together. You should of course be doing the same thing. I keep in touch with the folks on my friends list in game. Even if I'm soloing, I've got folks I'm chatting with. Sometimes that will lead to a duo or trio, and sometimes even into a full blown group. And of course the final bit of advice is to be proactive! If you want to group, then start putting one together yourself! Don't wait for someone to ask you.
By the way... I'm a L45 Cleric. Feel free to shoot me a tell if you need some healing. I'd love to group with you! I also don't give a rats ass whether the group is optimal, or whether your race/class/both have exp penalties. If you can do your job well and are fun to chat with, then we're gold. Every class brings something to a group. Every player can bring something as well. It's up to you whether that is good, or bad. Idiots and asshats reputations precede them. Your rep is what you make of it. A player with a good rep keeps getting groups. Players with a bad rep? Not so much.
