so after 10 days and 12 hours of play time im nearing 60 (not that big a milestone but still :D)
is there anything i should be doing to prepare myself for the instances in outlands?
would 60 be a good time to respec back to holy or should i wait until im at least 65 or higher?
what level should i start applying for high end guilds or should i just go with the flow and hope to get invited to one?
thanks for the advice in advance :)

60 in my opinion IS a big milestone. It's the milestone we aimed for at one stage - and is now the milestone to start Outlands. :D
My pally is a mere 26 at this point, but when I first hit Outlands using my 60 warlock, I ran a few instances, then got hooked on the quests. Personally I found it much quicker levelling. If you manage to land a guild that is heavily into instances and has other players the same level as you, you may make a commitment with them and go holy and go for it. If not, or if you land a guild that has players (like mine) who are mostly 70s, then it's probably not worth the effort until you hit 70.
But that's just my opinion. Presently I am running instances with 3 other players all at the same level (26). Because they're cloth wearers, I'm defacto tank and therefore won't be going holy when hitting 60 probably. But once I'm at a point where we have another player who is a good tank, I'll go holy and play the pally I want to play - and that may not happen till 70. C'est la vie. But I certainly won't remain a pally who wished he rolled warrior.
60-70 is like 50-60 only in a different world. And the loot is waaaay better.

I agree with Madag, 60 is still a big milestone. My advice would be level to 58, head through the portal, and ding 60 in a short time. After that, look to run your epic mount quest. It's tough to get people to run the "old" instances these days, but if you buddy up with a 70, the two of you can take probably two-man whatever instances you need. A lot of people avoid the Charger quest because of the time it takes, but you get both an epic mount as well as the riding skill for "free." Having a speeding mount in Outlands is pretty handy.
You're spec won't really be critical until you're in a guild. If you like Prot or Ret, you can stick with it and just pick up some healing gear in Outland. Believe me, there's a fair amount around. A good set of healing gear will allow you to main heal most 5-man instances, so you can maintain whatever spec you like while still having the option to healbot if you like. Once you get into a guild you may be asked to respec based on their needs, but that's up to them.
As for when to look for a guild, there's nothing wrong with starting to shop around now. There are so many out there that you can pick and choose depending on what you want to do. Are you more into PvPing or are you looking to do some heavy raiding? Either way, a lot of the upper-echlon guilds will have websites, so pay attention to the people you quest or run instances with. Most websites will have an application that you can fill out. Just remember that if you build a good reputation as a dependable pally, you'll have an easier time finding the right guild. Most people get into one simply because someone in the guild put in a good word with the GM for you.
Either way, it sounds like you're doing everything right, so just keep it up. Best of luck getting to Outlands and finding the right guild.
thanks for the replys guys always good to get some positive advice :)
