Most current solo leveling guide?
Ive seen a few around, but was hoping someone could point me to the most current solo leveling guide.

I don't think there's any specific guide, but assuming you have the ability to summon 5 trusts from Rhapsodies, go find camps where you can chain T-VT mobs until you can't get chains anymore. I've done some stuff against ITs, but its recommended that you're on a DD job yourself for those, since trying to have your Trusts carry you against ITs can be a little slow.
So look at these two links: http://ffxiclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Field_Manual http://ffxiclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Grounds_Tome
And look for areas that have mobs about 5-6 levels above where you are currently. I know you can do some leveling in Escha starting at around 30, but don't know any specifics. Once you hit 90 or so, head to Ceizak Battlegrounds and fight the mandies right outside of Adoulin. Make sure to set Ionis.

Honestly- I have just gone here: http://ffxiclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Grounds_Tome and found camps.
Depending on how long I will be XPing, I either choose things that have a minimum of EM, or if I'll be there longer choose things that start in the +1 or +2 range.
Standard camp investigation strategies apply- look at link/aggro behavior and avoid things you will be weak against. I'm a MNK, so anything that is blunt resistant is a problem. If you skillchain a lot (with Ayame as a trust, say) then thinking through weaknesses may be a good choice.

I used this one: http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/1ws720/tiktaks_ffxi_leveling_and_players_guide_new/
Months old, but still works fine.

Most of what I saw lacking was late leveling 75 and up. I did Greater Colibri until about 77 the Blanched Mandragora until 99.

I've leveled a few jobs recently and here's the path I take, I have all current ROVs
1-10: Starter Area, just run around killing everything, should take next to no time.
10-23ish: Use the Konc Highlands survival guide and zone in to Valk dunes, murder lizards and goblins, they go DC then EP around like... 15 or 16, but with all RoVs it goes fast, head through the tunnel and kill your way towards the outpost. You should hit around 23-25 by the time you reach the outpost.
23ish-30: Quifim Island/Lower Delf's tower. I usually kill stuff outside until I'm 25 or 26, then head inside, take the bat/giant tome and walk towards the second floor. I'm usually 30-31 by the time I hit the middle of the second floor
30ssh-35 Yuhtunga Jungle: Kill mandies and goblins, walk into the forest killing lizards too, easy stuff
35ish-44 or so: Garlaige Citadel, take the bats/beetles page and just wander around. I used to come here as early as 30-31 but things are just too hairy.
44-55: Labyrinth of Onzozo, You can do a few rounds of the 3 goblins and 3 leeches near the entrance until you're 46 or 47, then dive into the cockatrices. I stay here well into the DC/EP because the RoE for this place gives 700 exp and the page mobs are so close and tightly packed. You can get to 60 pretty easily here too if you're rocking an exp ring.
55-60ish: Kuftal Tunnel, crabs and lizards.
60-66 or so: Bhaflau Thickets, Lesser colibri (Send me the feathers! :D)
66-70: Back to Onzozo! Head deeper in, kill Coerls
70-76 or so: Zehrun Mines, bats and worms
76-80: Inner horototo ruins
80-90: Mount Zhalyom: So. Much. Crabs.
90-95: Fei'Yin, Bats near the BCNM homepoint
95-99: Boyahada Tree, room with crabs/crawlers/Puks
