5-Man instances for the Time-Challenged (spoilers)
#4
Alliance Stratholme for the time-challenged:

Stratholme is pretty simple and straightforward for 5-manning, actually; it only requires two five-man runs to complete, but... you may have to do more to knock out the collect quests, as they're notoriously stingy with drops. However, since those drops are scattered all throughout the "outdoor" portions of the instance, they're really not that big a deal. Just complete the Scarlet side main quests, then you can go back in and farm trash mobs to complete the collects. However, you need to do that before the Baron side 5-man quest opens up. Those quests, for reference:

Houses of the Holy (actually raidable, I believe)
The Flesh Does Not Lie
Collecton of Goods
(Paladin only, requires same holy water as Houses of the Holy)

Scarlet side: All the quests which require a 5-man run on the Scarlet side can be done in one run easily. The run can be done in under two hours by not screwing around with Postmaster Malown (he's raidable), and by avoiding the side trip to Cannonmaster Willey. The latter, however, will require 5-man runs for blacksmiths; I recommend doing those separately, however, as the detour to the Cannonade can destroy a 5-man run's ability to complete the other quests in a timely manner. Just get to Fras, then get to the Bastion, then blitz through to the Archivist. The Scarlet side quests do not NEED to be completed prior to the Baron side quests, but I list them first because completing Scarlet Strat (either in raid or in 5-man) leads to Above and Beyond.

The Great Fras Siabi
Medallion of Faith
Of Love and Family
The Archivist


Second run for blacksmiths:

Corruption
Sweet Serenity


Baron side: Before you head off on a 5-man Baron run, be sure that you've already completed The Flesh Does Not Lie and acquired the head of Balnazzar. I can't speak to how long a 5-man Baron run takes yet, not having done it, but we've done it with 7 people in less than two hours.

The Active Agent
turn in Medallion of Faith
Above and Beyond
Aurius' Reckoning


Like I said, pretty straightforward.
