I boosted 4 times i scholo to try it out with my druid tank. I prefer this instance instead of stratholme... Stratholme is a major hassle compared to scholo in my oppinion.

I did the whole instance once to get the achievement and "learn" the place as I have never run the instance properly at lvl, it took me like 40-50 min only looting the bosses.

Now I do it like this:

Kill the 4 mobs at the beginning (toons parked at the entrance. Clear the next room in one pull + mobbing up the stray mobs.

Then I run to the whelps, and pull everything up until the entrance from the first room. I then go back and kill the summoners.

Then I head into the Crypts and pull all the skeletons and the boss. Kill the boss quickly or she will summon adds which are annoying.
Then I kill rattlegore for the key.

Then I kill all the "neutral" mobs including the two mini bosses on the small ledge.

Then I think I move on to the room where you have to kill 4-6 bosses before the final boss spawns. I usually take 2-4 rooms at a time pulling using the boss. I have expirenced that one of the bosses reset and I had to go back and kill her again.
Then I kill the final boss and run out of the instance.

This run yild around 1 lvl with no RAF, no rested xp but with heirloom shoulders and chest on. Mostly I only loot the bosses.

As a bear tank I can pull alot of mobs, but I have found that the most effective way to pull all the mobs is to run backwards and swipe... it takes a bit longer not using charge to gain speed on the horde of mobs chasing you, but I take way less damage from the occationel hits, and I deal damage while mobbing up the freaks I need to kill. I takes alot of swipes to kill all the mobs which is why I keep pounding them while I pull them to a designated spot.


I will try only pulling the rooms suggested earlier in this topic and see if its a better way to boost in the instance.
best method i found when levelling my locks: (with ret Pally boosting)

kill the four on the bridge
drop down off the bridge - clear the room below
head towards the whelps - pulling all anything in you path
aggro a whelp and drop down one of the holes to rattlegore
kill rattlegore - by the time he's dead the mobs you aggro'ed will be arriving in the room (mass aoe FTW)
get the key and head back to the crypt for the bosses. (neutral guys are optional)
on the way back to the start you can clear the basement and the gargoyle boss
rinse and repeat

time to run 12-15 minutes depending if you loot the corpse piles
