Instance guide

Stormwind Stockade is a heavily guarded prison in the middle of Stormwind City. A large number of dangerous criminals, including some criminal masterminds and Defias mercenaries, are currently being held in the stockade. However, not so long ago, there was a revolt inside the dungeon, and the prisoners now keep the Stockade under their control.

Recommended group composition is competent and reasonably balanced group of 27ish chars, with at least a decent lvl 27 tank or very competent players for the final miniboss.

History

From Blizzard's Official World Dungeons site:

Stormwind Stockade is a high-security prison complex, hidden beneath the canal district of Stormwind city. Presided over by Warden Thelwater, Stormwind Stockade is home to petty crooks, political insurgents, murderers and a score of the most dangerous criminals in the land. Recently, a prisoner-led revolt has resulted in a state of pandemonium within the stockade - where the guards have been driven out and the convicts roam free. Warden Thelwater has managed to escape the holding area and is currently enlisting brave thrill-seekers to venture into the prison and kill the uprising's mastermind - the cunning felon, Bazil Thredd.

Notes, Tips, & Additional Info

Stormwind Stockade is usually referred to as stockades or stocks.
Enemy Level Range: 23-29
Must be at least level 15 to enter the instance.
Even though Horde players can enter this instance as well, due to its position and the quests it is often regarded Alliance-only.
This is one of the few instances in the game where Amplify Magic shines, as none of the enemies here use magical attacks. If you have a mage with you, get him/her to use it so as to strengthen your healers.
Due to the small area of the dungeon, running enemies and players can be fatal to your party. Keeping enemy mobs from fleeing (e.g. Curse of Recklessness, Hamstring) and dealing with fear effects from Dextren Ward (Fear Ward, Tremor Totem) can go a long way to ensuring your group's survival in this dungeon.
Unlike most instances, the Stormwind Stockades have exceptionally poor loot from bosses, with the exception of one rare spawn. This is believed to be because, otherwise, being in the center of the human capital, it would be too easy to farm.
