You can only reset an instance a maximum of 4 times in every hour, so pulling the whole instance, killing them (in stockades at least) takes less than 15 minutes making downtime much harder waiting the extra time for the instance to reset.

The way I (and the OP) suggested means you can spend 15 minutes pulling dotting mobs and leaving the instance and then reset the instance, this means lots of XP and less downtime.
That is a flawed calculation actually. You do not get more exp in an instance if you take longer to do it.

Say a full clear of an instance gives you 3000 exp. and you can only go it 5 times in an hour because of the instance reset that is 15,000exp

Well if it takes you 5 minutes to clear the instance in 3 pulls or if it takes you 12.3333 minutes to clear you still get the same amount of exp per hour per instance. the difference is aoeing down an instance 5 times then waiting for the cooldown takes less effort and time than spending the full hour clearing the max number. ie you get no break or downtime to do other things (like maybe kill other mobs for more exp) or cleanup your inventory from the run. or spend time going back and looting the drops from said AoE, etc.

The method of the OP however is a great one if you dont have a high lvl mage or paladin to boost with so in that I give kudos in finding a new way to do it.
