<div>Cataclysm LVL 85 and Raid Progression
I didn't cover the US and EU first level 85 characters when they happened 2 days ago, this is mostly because leveling in Cataclysm is fairly easy and the ranking mostly depended on what realms went up first.
However, it's pretty clear that now that we have near-final rankings for US and EU realms (thanks to WoWProgress), one character leveled much faster than the others: Forscience played by the lovely Athene. He posted a short video to explain how he did it, see below.
The rest of the rankings is available below, I'm not going to say world first or anything because I know people will hate me, I'll just let you discuss it in comments.
