I have also heard that the difficulty of some of the encounters (and thus their XP value) is scaled to the experience of the group. So if you go to WK too soon you may actually miss out on some XP (and maybe loot) that you would have otherwise collected later in the game.

I generally avoid going too deep into the Keep from the SOA side, maybe just one or two levels. Then during TOB I try to finish one level in between each of the major quests in order to keep the game from being too linear.
