You can also run back through the instance after it's completed and
check if any mobs didn't despawn - mobs carrying blue or better items
often won't despawn if they weren't looted - that's happened to me a
few times when I've been running through low lvl content and missed a
corpse or two; on my way out I wondered why one corpse hadn't
despawned, loot it and oh, look, a blue! :-)
