I used spoiler tags to prevent a wall of text. I combined vanilla/BC and Cataclysm content (mostly) since they share EK and Kalimdor. This list is optimized for Horde level 90+ characters. For Alliance, please see the corresponding meta-achievement,
The Flame Warden.
Kalimdor
I tried to arrange by adjacent zones while maintaining a rough circuit that ends with the players in Durotar so they don't have to fly too far to arrive at Ratchet. Board the ship at Ratchet to travel to Booty Bay after completing this portion of the guide.
Orgrimmar - 47,38 - in the Valley of Wisdom near the Cataclysm zone portals. If you do not have flight then you will need to use an elevator to access this area.
Azshara - 60,53 - Bilgewater Harbor (H)
Winterspring - 61,47 - Everlook (A) || 58,47 - Everlook (H)
Mount Hyjal - 63,23 - Nordrassil. If you have unlocked the portal to Mount Hyjal then do this bonfire later. (N)
Darkshore - 49,23 - Lor'danel (A)
Teldrassil - 55,60 - Dolanaar (A)
Darnassus - 63, 47* - moved in Cataclysm from Rut'theran Village. It's inside Darnassus, between Warrior's Terrace and Tradesman's Terrace. Players can fly to Teldrassil on their mounts from Lor'danel in Darkshore without dying to Fatigue. (Once you have the flame, board the ship to Draenei territory.)
Azuremyst Isle - 44,53 - INSTANCED, NO PLAYER FLIGHT. Azure Watch. (A)
Bloodmyst Isle - 55,69 - INSTANCED, NO PLAYER FLIGHT. Blood Watch. (A)
The Exodar - 41, 26* - INSTANCED, NO PLAYER FLIGHT. Inside the Crystal Hall. Bring invis potions or equivalent.
Stonetalon Mountains - 49,51 - Mirkfallon Post (A) || 53,62 - Sun Rock Retreat (H)
Desolace - 65,17 - Nijel's Point (A) || 26,76 - Shadowprey Village (H)
Feralas - 46,43 - Feathermoon Stronghold (A) || 72,47 - Camp Mojache
Silithus - 57,34 - Cenarion Hold (A) || 46,44 - Cenarion Hold (H)
Uldum - 53,35 - Ramkahen (H) || 53,32 - Ramkahen (A). If you've unlocked the portal to Uldum, then you can do this later. I don't recommend it because there is no portal back to Orgrimmar.
Un'goro Crater - 56,66 - Marshal's Stand (H) || 60,63 - Marshal's Stand (A)
Tanaris - 49,27 - Gadgetzan (H) || 52,29 - Gadgetzan (A)
Dustwallow Marsh - 62,40 - Theramore Isle (A) || 33,30 - Brackenwall Village (H)
Southern Barrens - 48,72 - Fort Triumph (A) || 41,67 - Desolation Hold (H)
Mulgore - 51,60 - Bloodhoof Village (H)
Thunder Bluff - 21,26* - located on Spirit Rise, near where the TB-->Org zeppelin docks.
Northern Barrens - 50,54 - The Crossroads (H)
Ashenvale - 51,66 - Silverwind Refuge (A) || 87,42 - Forest Song (H)
Durotar - 52,47 - Razor Hill (H)
Eastern Kingdoms
I tried to arrange by adjacent zones while maintaining a rough circuit that ends with the players in a location that allows their return to Orgrimmar via Brill's zeppelin. This list assumes you just finished Kalimdor as listed above.
The Cape of Stranglethorn - 50,70 - east of Booty Bay (H) || 51,67 - east of Booty Bay (A)
Northern Stranglethorn - 51,63 - Fort Livingston (A) || 40,51 - Grom'gol Base Camp (H)
Westfall - 45,62 - Moonbrook (A)
Stormwind City - 49,72* - moved in Cataclysm from the park. It's by the canals between the ruins of the park and the outside of the Mage Quarter.
Elwynn Forest - 43,63 - Goldshire (A)
Duskwood - 73,55 - Darkshire (A)
Blasted Lands - 46,14 - Dreadmaul Hold (H) || 55,15 - Nethergarde Keep (A)
Swamp of Sorrows - 76, 14 - Bogpaddle (H) || 70,14 - Bogpaddle (A)
Redridge Mountains - 24,53 - Lakeshire (A)
Burning Steppes - 51,29 - Flame Crest (H) || 68,60 - Morgan's Vigil (A)
Badlands - 19,56 - Dragon's Mouth (A) || 24,37 - New Kargath (H)
Dun Morogh - 54,45 - Kharanos (A)
Ironforge - 64, 25* - In Hall of Explorers. It is possible to use the tram from Stormwind to get to Ironforge but as Horde, I prefer to fly there - I find it easier to avoid guards.
Wetlands - 13,47 - Menethil Harbor (A)
Loch Modan - 32,40 - Thelsamar (A)
Twilight Highlands - 53,46 - Bloodgulch (H) || 47,23 - Thundermar (A)
Arathi Highlands - 44,46 - Refuge Pointe (A) || 69,42 - Hammerfall (H)
The Hinterlands - 76,74 - Revantusk Village (H) || 14,50 - Aerie Peak (A)
(There is a gate in north Eastern Plaguelands that will zone you into Blood Elf territory.)
Ghostlands - 46,26 - INSTANCED, NO PLAYER-CONTROLLED FLIGHT. Tranquillien (H).
Eversong Woods - 46,50 - INSTANCED, NO PLAYER-CONTROLLED FLIGHT. North Sanctum (H)
Silvermoon City - 70,43* - INSTANCED, NO PLAYER-CONTROLLED FLIGHT. In Court of the Sun. After you grab the flame, go inside Sunfury Spire and go into the back - there is a translocation orb that will take you to Ruins of Lordaeron in Undercity.
Undercity - 68,9* - located in the courtyard above ground in the Ruins of Lordaeron.
Western Plaguelands - 29,57 The Bulwark (H) || 43,82 - Chillwind Camp (A)
Hillsbrad Foothills - 55,50 - Tarren Mill (H)
Silverpine Forest - 50,39 - The Sepulcher (H)
Tirisfal Glades - 57,52 - Brill (H)
Maelstrom (a.k.a. the oddballs)
These will require having unlocked the respective portals, or a warlock and additional player to summon you there, or a
Potion of Deepholm . (Sadly, there is no potion for Vashj'ir.)
Vashj'ir - 49,42 - Shimmering Expanse. It is south of the map label "Silver Tide Hollow." (N)
Deepholm - 49,51 - inside the Temple of Earth. (N)
Outland
This route is roughly circuitous and will end with you either hearthing or taking a portal if you don't mind the travel time to reach one. There are portals back to Orgrimmar in Shattrath and in Hellfire Peninsula (next to the Dark Portal).
Take the portal in Orgrimmar's Cleft of Shadow (tucked into a corner between the rogue trainers hut and poison vendor; /tar Dyson will help too, she's standing right next to it) to get to the Blasted Lands. Fly straight to get to the Dark Portal and port to Outland.
Hellfire Peninsula - 62,58 - Honor Hold (A) || 57,42 - Thrallmar (H)
(Fly through the empty space between Hellfire Peninsula and Netherstorm. Don't panic when your map freaks out and doesn't know where you are - keep calm and carry on.)
Netherstorm - 32,68 - Area 52 (H) || 31,63 - Area 52 (A)
Blade's Edge Mountains - 50,59 - Thunderlord Stronghold (H) || 42,66 - Sylvanaar (A)
Zangarmarsh - 69,52 - Telredor (A) || 36,52 - Zabra'Jin (H)
Nagrand - 51,34 - Garadar (H) || 50,70 - Telaar (A)
Terokkar Forest - 52,43 - Stonebreaker Hold (H) || 55,55 - Allerian Stronghold (A)
Shadowmoon Valley - 33,30 - Shadowmoon Village (H) || 40,55 - Wildhammer Stronghold (A)
Northrend
A rough circuit of Northrend. When you finish, you may hearth or fly back to Dalaran. (Shortcut to Dalaran: if the Horde has control of Wintergrasp, you can enter Wintergrasp Fortress - the building which contains the
Vault of Archavon instance - and use its portal to Dalaran.)
This list assumes that your start-point is from Dalaran. If you start from Borean Tundra or Howling Fjord then you will need to accordingly adjust your path.
Crystalsong Forest - 78,75 - Windrunner's Overlook (A) || 80,53 - Sunreaver's Command (H)
Storm Peaks - 40,86 - K3 (H) || 42,87 - K3 (A)

Sholazar Basin - 47,66 - River's Heart (A) || 47,62 - River's Heart (H)
Pandaria
A rough circuit of Pandaria. The only Alliance and Horde bonfires are at the front of Mogu'shan Palace in Vale of Eternal Blossoms; the rest are neutral and one per zone.
This list assumes that you take the Orgrimmar portal from the Shrine and then use the portal to The Jade Forest. If you start with the Vale then you will accordingly need to adjust your path.
The Jade Forest - 47.2,47.1 - Dawn's Blossom (N)
Krasarang Wilds - 73.9, 9.4 - Zhu's Watch (N)
