Here's my strat for running Scholo. Or atleast how I ran it a few times.
I didn't try and pull everything from one end to the beginning or anything like most others. I just cleared one room at a time and kept my slaves right at the entrance on the steps and they got both rep and xp from every kill. Also got the option to get any BoP loot from boss kills except for one time off the Lich boss at the end (forgot his name). Found that out after the first kill. After that, I pulled him and mobs in there out into the hallway.
Anyway, here goes:
Park slaves on steps.
Kill first four guards on bridge.
Drop to room below and mow down.
Next room with spiders, skeleton guards, and casters, round up everything, and pull back into the first room with the locked door you just cleared. I used the line of sight trick on the casters. When they'd get low on health or start to run, most would just stay in that room, at that point, run up the stairs and line of sight AoE them with Consecration. Warning tho, these mobs do Silence and has almost gotten me killed.
Next room I run is the Hidden Room right across. Clear those and the boss, and hit the torch on the wall to get the chest in the first room you cleared.
Next room is the casters and whelps. Here, just aggro the casters, the whelps around them will follow, but not all. Whelps don't give as much xp as the casters, so don't spend much time on them.
Next is Rattlegore and minions. Kill everything and and loot Rattlegore for the key.
Go back and unlock the first room and get up on the stage with the two Undead bosses.
At this point, there's new smaller mob there to clear for extra before opening the door.
Next is the classroom.
AGGRO the main one at he table, not the one in the back corner. This will aggro the whole room there and you can AoE them down there on the stage. If you aggro the other boss first, only half the room will get pissed at you. Guess the other half don't like that teacher much
Next is the room with the Summoners, don't worry about the other bosses from here unless you want the loot/achievement. The xp gain from them is low and a waist of time IMO.
Take down the Summoners and Spider first. Summoners don't follow and and Spider kept trapping me.
LoS them around the walls, then move to the First main room with he book shelfs.
This room is not so bad after I found a different way to kill them than the vids.
Round up a nice size of them, don't matter if you can't get them all, and use the book cases, but jump up behind them on the wall. Watch out for the Succubus cause yes, she does stun ALOT.
Once cleared, run out and reset.
I mainly looted the bosses and whatever corpses haven't disappeared with Blues or Purples on them the first time around. No looting, I have only hit about 3, maybe 4 instances an hour. But then, I didn't rush it either. If you decide to loot, I can promise you won't hit the cap. And once they hit 55, you can use the Summoning Stone outside Ramparts to port them there.
FYI: My fresh Shamans I just ran this way, hit full Exalted with Argent Dawn by level 53. But at that point, I ran the whole instance quite a few times to farm the last boss to try and get the Ace of Portals with no luck.
