One of the ways of gaining reputation for your home faction cities is by championing them (wearing their tabard) in classic dungeons. Using this method, how much reputation is gained from each dungeon assuming the following:
- It is soloed at level 85.
- It is fully cleared of all mobs.
I do not know if the amount is variable by character, but I receive 3 rep per trash mob and 60 rep per boss.
ETA: Per the discussion below, I'm looking for what would be considered the "base" amount of reputation, prior to racial or guild perks being applied. (I assume that the amount with the perks applied could be easily calculated from this amount depending on how Blizzard rounds and sets the order of operations.)
I am operating under the belief that all home city tabards in classic dungeons would provide the same amount of rep independent of which city is being championed. If this is incorrect, please let me know.

Each instance has a different number of enemies and it is the enemies that give the reputation, rather than the instance. The number of players in the party at the time does not influence the reputation gained so whether you solo the instance or not is irrelevant. In addition to this, the instances from The Burning Crusade expansion (Hellfire Ramparts, etc) will not benefit home faction standing at all.
Reputation gained is also affected by the following factors;
In order to get solid numbers, the following questions need answers;
Assuming a full clear, you should get the following reputation per clear of each instance, bare in mind that the instances with the highest reputation per clear may not be the fastest way to grind up a reputation, as this would need to take into consideration the time it takes to clear the instance:
For the context of the question (fastest way to get reputation from Classic dungeons) I have excluded the long winded/windy instances (Wailing Caverns, Maraudon, etc) as what we're looking for is the fastest way to generate reputation. Seemingly the fastest instance to gain reputation out of the Classic instances is Sunken Temple. After the remodelling at the start of Cataclysm a large portion of this instance has been removed, leaving it as a single level instance capable of generating 2330 reputation per run which each run taking approximately 15 minutes on a level 60.
For completeness, here are the reputation values you can get per run out of a Wrath of the Lich King instance on heroic mode:
It is worth completely avoiding the likes of Trial of the Champion due to the lack of enemies present in the instance, clearing a combination of either Azjol-Nerub and Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom OR The Utgarde instances (Keep and Pinnacle) would probably be the fastest way to generate reputation, with these groups of instances having their entrances situated next to each other and being reasonably quick to clear.
