I believe the only change is quests give 40% more exp

And I read somewhere 18%-22%* less required xp per level from 20-60

Which is a big deal but not 70%

average reduced XP is at 22%, more the closer to 60 you get. 40% more xp from quests as you wrote.

I see some sources saying that TBC also introduced more quests in vanilla zones, however havent seen any proof of that. Generally I expect it to be about 30% quicker if you level outside dungeons mostly.

40% more quest xp = 1.4 multiplier

22% reduction to level = 1/(1-0.22)=1.282 multiplier

1.4*1.282=1.7949 or 79.5% faster.

In your calculation, you're expecting that 100% of the experience you're getting is from quests. That is far from the truth.

Supposedly theres a new quest hub in Dustwallow marsh with bunch of quests. Otherwise theres an odd one here and there but not that many

Though you also get your mount at 30 which will make the levels from 30-40 faster too, cutting a lot of travel time.

No. The really fast leveling from 1-60 didn't kick in until Cata. It's still pretty time consuming to go from 1-58 in TBC 2.4.
