So as far as I understand it, PvP servers are dead and there's little to no raiding scene on them. This means, AFAIK, my warrior, medic, and esper are all trapped in a graveyard and a re-roll will be necessary to start playing the game again.
 
My question is, how long is it going to take me to get raid ready if I have to reroll and gear up? I probably want to play a warrior, but not tank with him (Wildstar tanking just feels wrong in some way, and WoW's BRF is currently scratching my tanking itch), so I'd have to queue as DPS which is likely horrible. How long is this going to take?

Welcome back! :D
 
Actually, there are free server transfers so you can send your old characters over to the PvE mega server with no charge. :)

First off, anyone can transfer for free.
 
If you quest and its ur first character you can get to 50 in 3½ day. Then you need to cap EG and wait a week, then you need another 10 EGs to buy the key. In the mean time do the attunement progress, can be done in a day if you really try hard, but maybe 2 is better. so 1 week 6 days to about 2 weeks.
 
If you know what to do you can get to level 50 in 23½ hours and if your guild has leftover prestige keys from ohmna you can enter GA the next day after you gotten a few pieces from the new vendors and veteran dungeons. Or buy crafted blues if there are any decent pieces.
 
Then when you dont raid you do the dailies that you are still able to complete, which wont be a lot of the 20 man zones unless you are lucky, but rather crimson badlands and northen wastes. Also start doing PvP for prestige and buy AP/AMP from the prestige vendor. The last part will be even more awesome because apparently you can buy unlimited unlocks with the next patch.

			Looks like the question has changed slightly, but for the record, I had a guildmate that leveled and attuned to raid-ready in about 4 days. That said, he didn't have the extra amp points or ability points, so I'd say he was more like 90%? Good enough to tank the mini-bosses in GA for us, but I wouldn't have trusted him for real bosses at that point.

			When I buckle down and decide to level a character to 50, then it takes me about 46 hours of in-game time to hit 50. After that, about another 24 until raid-ready.

See that's what happens when all you do is raid DS. You completely lose touch with the noobs and what they have to go through to get into raiding. ;)

			at a normal pace knowing the areas and the hubs will be like 7 days, after my first char thats the time it took me to get to 50, the forst took like a month

Well with the exp boost you have nowadays doing 30-40 hrs to 50 is relatively easy, without using any super optimised routes. My last alt took 40 hours and I was pretty inefficient, spending quite a bit of time tabbed out of the game and lvling Scientist at the same time. I also wasn't in guild or kept an eye on keeping up the housing buff, so I think you could easily do 30 hrs, by simply focusing on the main quests line and ignoring tasks.
 
It definitely makes quite a difference when you hit 49 in Grimvault and then 50 on your first run through off Crimsons. On my first alt, despite having a lot of rested exp and doing BGs while lvling, I wasn't 49 after Grimvault, despite using an identical route. So I had to grind to 49 and then a single run through Crimsons also wasn't enough to get me to 50, so that was another grind.
