How reliable is the Western Plaguelands (Horde) route?

All 78 quests on this page come from the Classic quest database (cMaNGOS classic-db), not from WoW Forever: Blizzard changed the starting zones, moved some quests and added new ones that are not here yet, so check a quest giver before a long run.
