If you put rules and regulations on a twink or xpoff player whatever you wanna call it!

Would you please elaborate on the lifegems, which gems exactly are you referring to and would they work decent on my 29 rogue?

Probably refers to Revitalizing Jewel Doublet which gives a significant health regen boost. They're part of the shadowlands gems. They're also mentioned on the war within baseline guide f2p baseline guide. They scale with the amount of unique(?) shadowlands gems you have equipped on each item. Haven't used them myself as I'm pure f2p, and they're vet/sub only.

Do look into how the scaling works before investing time into it. I don't think you can just stack just Revitalizing Jewel Doublets by themselves.
 
This may be cringey, but I had decided to test my build and see what its really capable of while I was farming a weapon. Here are my best times for each Classic Timewalking Dungeon.
The only rule I really set for myself was timer begins from entrance, and ends when final boss dies and dungeon completion award recieved. I am fully aware that completing a dungeon in less than 6 minutes is pointless, however it was very fun and the downtime between ques allowed me to work on IRL things.

Dire Maul Capital Gardens - 2:02
Stratholme Main Gate - 3:23
Dire Maul Warpwood Quarter - 4:50
Zul’Farrak - 5:09
Stratholme Service Entrance - 5:55
Deadmines - 5:57

The build was 86 str, 77 crit, 70 haste, 67 vers. (30% crit, 23.5% haste, 19% vers)
Bloodofares-Darkspear(US)

It's not complete as i have a goal of adding 3 more vers without sacrificing any crit or haste. If anyone has any tips I'd love to hear it! :D
I do plan on re-doing this but with 100% boss completion since I already run them so fast. These times are also before my stats were where they are now, so I know I can do it faster as I have PR'd every boss since doing this superficial time trial.

But if i try to go so fast in a timewalker, people tend to get upset and sometimes even just kick me. I even tell them, you dont need to heal me and if you want, you dont even need to kill anything lol

Maybe you should ask ppl if they want a speed run or not? Some ppl don't want be "useless" in a dungeon.
If you want to do speedruns, make your own party or ask ppl.

If you go too quickly they may end up being too far away to receive credit/exp so you are griefing them and they are rightfully upset at you. If you cba to wait a couple seconds for them to at least be able to see you then you can get a solo timewalking instance by logging out at the end of the instance and waiting 30min. TBH speed runs should go based off those solo instances anyway to remove outside variables

pretty speedy!

https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/character/us/uldaman/kneeroy my warrior can move fairly fast thru some dungeons but if i try to go so fast in a timewalker, people tend to get upset and sometimes even just kick me. I even tell them, you dont need to heal me and if you want, you dont even need to kill anything lol

I am having alot of fun on my shaman https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/character/us/uldaman/jokitew (this guy can really zoom)

I havent had that issue quite yet, I found some pretty optimized routes that let people stay with me, or i'll let them know ahead of time that im about to do a massive pull so they know to just run. Only had one issue and it was when someone tried popping all their CDs into the rear pack of mobs that I hadn't gotten full aggro on yet as I was still setting up the pull. I typically am able to just run through them to aggro and I do this to avoid killing them w/ WW+LS when the group is too far.

This, I have seen several threads on GD forums on bnet complaining about lvl 11 twinks already. I get you guys are all having fun blitzing through twing dungeons but remember other ppl play the game too and they are not playing wow to engage in a walking simulator.

Keep that in mind for the future after blizz nerfs low level scalling hard because you stepped on too many toes.
 
Since you're subbed it might be easiest to have a max level friend help run you through one of the relevant dungeons. The anniversary event gives people reasons to want to run timewalking dungeons, so normal queues are going to drag especially if you don't have a non-DPS spec.

As noted above rogues are the worst class for soloing, with their only saving grace being their ability to skip most trash. You'll be in a catch-22 situation where you need top notch gear to solo well and gearing will be slow until you can solo dungeons. In the meantime you can try gathering a "good enough" set to help when you do go hard on instances, get your professions up and stock up on consumables, and ask friends to help you grab certain key items like the ooze.

This is actually the specific reason why I personally ask every group I end up with if they're okay with it. Haven't gotten a no, mostly a bunch of enthusiatic yes'. However coming from wotlk I know there is people who still want to PLAY the game, but I also know from my few days of running a timewalking twink, there is also a bunch of people who only want to hit max level, or finish the 5 dungeon quest. I have 0 interest in ruining this game for other players and if I got a group who wanted to just play it slowly, I have a 2nd set of gear that is significantly weaker to do so.
 
Like others have said, I don't recommend you do this with randoms but here are my times
(Level 11 F2P Fury Warrior)

Stratholme - Main Gate: 0min 45sec
Stratholme - Service Entrance: 4min 33sec
Dire Maul - Capital Garden: 1min 25sec
Dire Maul - Warpwood Quarter: 3min 10sec
Deadmines: 3min 16sec
Zul'Farrak: 2min 48sec

Insane times, you gotta link your armory i gotta check out that build
 
Years ago I followed a guide on here for a speed farming character. I believe it was single minded fury using Azerite armor. I quit for a while, recently came back and leveled the warrior up and ruined my farmer.

I have a decent 11 warrior for timewalking. My question is, what level/class is good for old content currently? If somebody can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
 
ok...say today...i am on my level 11 twink with experience turned off... i join a random TW dungeon group; will it stop other players from getting experience? i ask because i did this yesterday and people were leveling and i didnt see anyone say, "hey im not getting experience", but then i watched a video and i happened to read a posted comment saying that if you group with others they wont get any experience. so whats the deal?
 
If you run random dungeon grp, other players wouldn't be affected. It's only if you form a group manually.
 
If other people randomly queue into the same dungeon as you they'll still get XP. It would be weird and feel unfair if they didn't.

If you queue in a group with someone else, that person will get reduced XP. That's there to help limit how effective speed leveling alongside a twink is.

There seems to be a bit of an arms race between speed levelers and Blizzard to see how well the speed levelers can find ways around blizzard's systems, and Blizzard evolves their systems in turn. The only thing we twinks might notice as a result is slightly longer queues, particularly when requeuing with the same group. Everything else, people randomly along for the ride will do just fine.
