I found some great guides via WoW Insider for each of the new 5 man dungeons from patch 4.3. All of the below were written by Allison Robert.

1. End Time 

2. Well of Eternity

3. Hour of Twilight

Allison Robert also wrote this fabulous quickie guide:

End Time

• Echo of Sylvanas Stay out of purple stuff on the ground. When phase 2 comes, kill the ghoul everyone’s DPSing and then run over its corpse and away from Sylvanas.
• Echo of Tyrande Interrupt Stardust and blow your cooldowns at 30%. If you’re ranged, don’t get close to her, and if she turns to face you, move away.
• Echo of Jaina Avoid big white blades that pop out of the ground. If you see a fire ember on the ground, stand IN it to keep it from damaging the whole group.
• Echo of Baine Throw his totems back at him. If he stomps an island that you’re on, swim to a new one quickly.
• Murozond Stay out of big golden circles, stay out from in front of him, stay away from behind him, and pop your cooldowns whenever time resets.

Well of Eternity

• Peroth’arn Stay out of green stuff on the ground, and don’t let the eyes get close to you when you’re stealthed.
• Queen Azshara Kill the puppet strings on Mind-Controlled players as quickly as possible, and avoid bad stuff on the ground. You HAVE to interrupt Azshara’s Total Obedience ability.
• Captain Varo’then and Mannoroth Stay out of bad stuff, focus on Mannoroth once Varo’then’s dead, and keep adds off your healer and Tyrande.

Hour of Twilight

• Arcurion Interrupt Hand of Frost, kill Ice Tombs, and stay out of bad.
• Asira Dawnslayer Stay out of Smoke Bomb and on top of the light circles left by Thrall’s totems. If you’re a caster or healer, try to keep the tank or Thrall standing between yourself and Asira.
• Archbishop Benedictus Spread out, dispel Righteous Shear/Twilight Shear, interrupt Smite/Twilight Blast, and stay out of waves.

I was checking Amazon this morning to see when the next Kim Harrison Hollows book is coming out and there was a lot of new information to see about it.  I’m so excited.  I know what I’ll be doing on February 21, 2012 when the book is released.  :D

Edit: I have confirmed that you can pass through the Dark Portal at any level, so long as you can get there physically. I just managed it at level 10 (I died a lot on the way, though!) On arrival in Hellfire Peninsula you will automatically have the flight path to Thrallmar/Honor Hold (no cost).

Edit 2: You can get master level cooking from the grand master trainers in Northrend - much, much easier for low-level toons. The guide has been amended.

Edit 3: You don’t even have to go to Northrend - all the Pilgrim’s Bounty trainers go right up to Grand Master. The guide has been amended again.
