One of the reasons I think the instance of the Deadmines is deep inside the mine, is that it gives the party the opportunity to learn to work together outside the instance before they start hitting the Elites.

Except for the fact that there's almost never any mobs in the non-instanced portion of the mines on the way to the instance... ;)

(I agree with your assessment from a design standpoint, it just doesn't work that way in reality unfortunately.)
