I leave them at certain spots near the beginning.
RFC: I have them follow to the area right on the ramp before those little trogg things. They stand and can look left and see that first miniboss on the right. I then go down and try to avoid all the troggs and turn left and pull everything on that side. then run back and go to the right and head towards the cave with the dead cow. just pull all the troggs, kill them all in the cave. then run out and repeat. its faster than going thru the entire instance. by running out and ressetting and pulling the same group. 5-6 times gets my team from 8-12.

SFK: leave them by the gate. run up and pull everything to the first boss and let the guy unlock the door.Kill them. then the next area I run past the courtyard and pull everything going the back way and coming back to the courtyard. my 2nd pull is from Commander springfield to Odo. kill them next to the soldiers on the right side of the parapet before going into the tower. I then pull everything to fenrus and run back to where I killed the prior mob. jump down to my guys and run out and reset. repeat till level 20.

SMC : pull the entire instance.. you may have a couple resets but you should have the bulk of the group. or do it in 3 pulls if you want every last mob.

Strat: I usually leave my guys inside the gatest that come down. so no mobs can attack them.. pull everything to the withing 50 yards of the gates. I don't do the baron's gauntlet area and I don't do the Scarlet area. I basically do the area around the service entrance. the mobs at the front door. and the mobs around the Unknown.

Sorry for the wall. I don't loot anything really except for a few pieces in SMC. and then a couple pieces in Strat. Everything gets replaced with outlands greens anyways.
