PvP leveling was nerfed along time ago. Group grinding or questing is it.

actually i level pretty fast in Cryodiil... I get to level 10 and then go to Cryodiil and do the daily's. Doing the Bounty Dailies is a blast and it levels you pretty fast. It is probably not the fastest way, but it is a really fun way!
I alternate between PVE & PVP but I find PVP quests to be easily repeatable. Most of the quests are right outside of the quest giver with a few being a slight jog away. The named NPC's in dungeons also drop blue weapons/armor that level as you do. So you can keep going back to obtain that axe or whatever every 10 levels and its stats will level with you.
Only downside is levelling too high in PVP and then you have no waypoints back in PVE land if you ever wanted to run through those quests.
Oh, I was talking about ESO, where it is impossible to get to high of a level to not do all the PVE quests. You can see them by just selecting 'display lower level quests' in your set-up.
Technically it is possible. Leveling by PvE questing is much, much faster though and you'll earn much more gold as well as come across more crafting resources.
As a PvP player only you'll have trouble affording any decent equipment once you hit lvl 50.
Yes you can but even though the XP gains in Cyrodiil have been bumped up, it's certainly not the fastest way to level. OTOH, it's probably the most fun way to do it if you enjoy meeting new people and getting to know them.
It's tough going at 10 since you'll be missing a lot of skills you haven't unlocked yet. Personally I prefer to go there as a healer with a couple of healing staff skills when I do it with a level 10 character since you can contribute more than if you try to be DPSer without the better skills... and you'll get both Alliance Points and XP faster AOE healing.

In fact, when you start playing low lvl PvP, there is a high chance you will want to stay there. Around lvl 30 you will do what you can to avoid getting xp to not hit lvl 50 to fast. Also, at least on EU server, you will see there is a huge player base that roll new chars just to keep playing in pre-50 campaign.
And I'm saying this from my own experience - I did level 2 chars 10 to 50 in Cyro, and have 2 more in progress.
I DO NOT recommend this for people that have just started the game
ESO Storylines and Quest are fun content you should experience on your first few toons.
They are fun!, I know I've done them 8 times
This guide is for veteran players of the game and want to remake a toon
or have done the Main Storyline quest so many times with other toons
that they want a fast way to make a new class to play.
AD faction NO Quest Guide to get to 50,
3- 10 [Auridon]– South Beacon – SW, Lower left part of the map
10- 14 [Auridon] – Ezduiin – NE, middle area of the map
14 – 18 [Auridon] - North Beacon – NE, top right of the map
18 – 24 [Grahtwood] - Ossuary Of Telacar – middle west side of map
24- 28 [Greenshade] – Rootwatch Tower – just a little SE from Serpent’s Grotto Wayshrine
28 – 36 [Greenshade] – Verrant Morass - top NE of the map, run circle in the zombie [undead] area
36 – 44 [Reapers March] – Moonmount – lower part of the map
45- 50 [Coldharbour] – Cliffs of Failure - middle East side of the map
At lvl 16 I crafted [Blue Quality] Set of 5pc Hundings Rage and 4pc
Night Mothers Gaze, for a DW/2H Stam Sorc. and used that set from 16 to
50,
Yep, you read it right, I used a level 16 set of crafted gear all the way to 50!!!
There is a crafter version of this same set up for Magic users too 5 pc.- Law of Julianos and 4pc. Magnus Gift
You can skip Reapers March and go over to Coldharbour’s Cliffs of Failure at LvL 36 and see if it works well for you.
I didn’t have a problem with the area Cliffs of Failure with my Stam. Sorc. @ LvL 36 with blue LvL 16 Gear,
I had the area to my self most mornings, Lots of drops so I was making good coin as I was lvl'ing
After hitting 50 I went back through the zones and hit skyshards, Public Dungeon group bosses for extra skill points.
I do have a little more time on my hands, but 2 to 4 hours in each area will get you some good XP
