Multi-wing dungeons

Three instances are split into parts, each with its own entrance:

Scarlet Monastery — Graveyard (26–36), Library (29–39), Armory (32–42), Cathedral (35–45). The most visited dungeon in Vanilla.
Dire Maul — East (55–60, needs the Crescent Key), West (56–60), North (57–60).
Blackrock Mountain — technically not wings but five separate instances in one massif.

By continent

How to use this list at x5

Enter near the top of the range. At x5 rates you outpace the content: if a dungeon reads 24–32, going in at 28–30 feels right.
Collect the quests first. Almost every dungeon has 3–6 quests in the neighbouring zone — that is half the reward of the run.
Do not skip the key instances. Deadmines, Scarlet Monastery, Zul'Farrak and Blackrock Depths drop the best gear for their level.
Plan the route. Step-by-step roads to each entrance live in the "how to get to X" series, for example how to get to Uldaman.
Count the experience. Dungeon grinding strategy is covered in the dungeon leveling guide.
