I'm new to WoW and my character(s) have been invited to join groups. I think my skills would not add to a group (and worse could be trouble for them) so I decline. My characters are Level 4-7. Based on your experience, at what level would I be helpful to a group? Should I say I'm new so the the person who invites doesn't think I'm blowing them off? TY.

Groups at any level can help you, especially if you're new. The only player who would really benefit from playing solo the whole time is an experienced player who has completed all his/her quests and needs to "grind" by killing a bunch of enemies for experience to level up.
Even on my first character, I made it to level 10 in about 2 days, playing only a few hours each day, so I'm kinda wondering why you'd be only 4-7 on several characters.
Especially since you're new, you'd probably benefit from grouping, so I'd highly recommend it. Some very low level characters are actually very experienced since everyone has to start at level 1, and most 70s start alternate characters.
So group up and learn all you can. It would be courteous to mention you're new, and don't be afraid to say so. The most common response to that I've seen is, "Everyone was new at some point."

You can help a group at any level, just so long as the groups are nearly the same level as yourself. (I'd try to group with characters between 5 levels of you. So if you are level 6, the highest group you should join should be about level 11.) Low level groups will help you complete quests faster and increase your social network in game, so when you get up to a level where you want to be doing instances, you'll have some friends to bring along. If you do decline an invitation (or even accept it) it's not a totally bad idea to let the inviting person know your skill level and reasons for declining, just to curteous.

The people who are inviting you know what level you are, so you should not question your skills (or lack thereof). Plus, at such a low level, there is probably not much that you could do to hurt anything.
Grouping makes things easier and adds to the gameplay. Plus once you get into the higher levels, you may come to need groups to complete your quests, it would be good to have experience working as a member of a team.
Depending on your class, you may get a lot of invites to groups, at any level, feel free to take them up on it. And, it is common to have to turn down group invites, so unless you know the guy doing the inviting (he is a friend of yours or something) don't be too worried if you turn them down (they are probably sending invites all over)

I wouldn't group up until at least level 10. If you are Horde anyway. Ragefire Chasm's entrance minimum is level 8.
Stick with questing instead of instancing. They are good for drops, but not for XP. You get more XP per hour questing and killing.

you can quest by your self all the way to lvl 60. but when you are in a group you have other people there to help you out. and the people in the group can explain to you what is going to happen and what you can do. the only way you will learn how to play with a group is to do it and if you make a mistake learn from it. but i would start learn how to group fast if you want to run instances.
