If you’re trying to do the story “since cata” in order, then you’ll technically never go to BC or Wrath. (Which is fine)

I’d still completely every old world zone even if you had to run XP off, then you should do the actual cata zones in order
they are

Vash’jir
Hyjal
Deepholm
Uldum
Twilight Highlands

The dungeons come naturally in every zone at the end of their storyline which is pretty neat. You can get a max level to help you complete the raids:

Blackwing Descent
Bastion of Twilight (including Sinestra)
Throne of the 4 Winds

Then you could do the 4.1 Quests which should include the Zandalari relaunched 5 mans (ZG and ZA) .
Those quests are: The Troll Incursion [Alliance] & The Zandalari Menace [Horde]; I tried to post links but still can’t so…you’ll have to use wowhead to find the NPC’s who give them out.

Then you’d do the Firelands quest chains where Thrall has to deal with re-establishing control over his shamanism; there is also the new “Molten Front” zone in Hyjal that phases that map all over again
Raid: Firelands.

The last patch of Cata was 4.3 "Hour of Twilight:
There is a whole quest chain that you complete to try and stop Murozond (This is the first time in game that we see him, btw…which is pretty cool)
While doing this quest chain, you are naturally taken through all three dungeons that launched back then:
End Time
Well of Eternity
and
Hour of Twilight

Then, you can go into the Dragon Soul raid (in Caverns of Time); which finishes out the cata story.

Ah so Vash’jir was before Hyjal

Everywhere I read listed it as after

Edit: also, do I have to be level 60 to be able to do the raids?

Do I have to exit chromie time in order to be able to do the raid? Or would a player just transfer me there?

i dont think raiding affects chromie time

you would have to leave chromie time to do the raid
