Details
- Added in 3.2, additional return values added in 3.3
- "difficulty of the instance" is described in GetInstanceDifficulty()
- isDynamic (presumably a boolean value) is only useful in places like Icecrown Citadel where the difficulty mode can be changed on the fly. As of this writing, none of those modes are unlocked yet.
