Hey,
I've done some research but couldn't find a post-Cata answer.. I want both the SWC and BB factions on Exalted (even though I know it will be a big grind), but I'm not sure if this is still possible.. I can get SWC rep with killing tanaris or ratchet pirates, but Im not sure if my BB rep goes down from this, and if it lasts till Exalted.
Thanks

What I did while I was working on Insane in the Membrane (and eventually gave up because of lack of funds, but that's another story...), I found grinding various pirates around the world to be the best bet. Just not the Bloodsail ones in STV. The ones near Ratchet were the best (not sure if they're still there, though).
Edit: @Emorogg: Those quests decrease Bloodsail rep. They aren't any good if you want both groups at Exalted at the same time.

Free Knott quest no longer gives Steamwheedle rep; but, the BB Guards now give Bloodsail rep up to Exalted(IIRC).......how your going to get the Steamwheedle rep back up to exalted without losing Bloodsail now well....good luck heh.

Post Cata the only differences I have read about (I am currently seeking the Insane in the Membrane achievement) is that you can
no longer
turn in the
Free Knot
quest in Dire Maul. So you're primary option is to slaughter pirates in Tanaris and South of Ratchet. The pirates in these areas do not hurt your Bloodsail rep because they are not Bloodsail pirates, only the pirates in STV are Bloodsail pirates.
The main change in Cataclysm is that these pirates have been
reduced in number
so you'll have to run around a bit more. Suggestions from other comments are to get in a group of four-five people, find where the pirates are and slaughter them as fast as possible to increase respawn times. Also, as mentioned in other comments from the two links you will need to move locations once your rep is maxed for the town you are near. Example: You kill pirates in Tanaris until Everlook\Ratchet\Booty Bay is Exalted you then need to move to the pirates South of Ratchet to grind Gadgetzan to Exalted. (The rep grind is pretty long because you only get 2.5 rep per kill after Honored (I think?), which means you'll be killing 10,000+ pirates.)
As for getting your Bloodsail Rep to Exalted according to
this post
killing the Bruisers is the way to go, however,
this post
contradicts it. Unless killing Bruisers takes you all the way to exalted you are out of luck as far as I know.
I apologize that I don't have more details as information is sparse right now. I have already done the grind to Honored with the Bloodsail and started the long road back to Steamweedle Cartel. I don't want to test slaughtering Bruisers again on my main but I will look into testing on an alt.
Happy Grinding.

Can also kill the Venture Bay members in Grizzly hills, they give 5-10 rep for the Steamwheedle cartel.
