XCode's Storyboard works better than you would think, especially if you're just at the wireframing stage and not necessarily worried about getting all of the design elements in there.
There are a few things (like Page view controllers) that don't lend themselves well to Storyboard-as-mockup, but overall it's a pretty good solution.
Use static prototypes with your table view controllers to simulate multiple table cells, for instance.
On the down side, it's not as easily shareable as an HTML-based prototype that some of the mockup tools will create.

It seriously frustrates me when I see new wire framing tools pop up for iOS since just using Xcode will be about the same speed (if not faster) to set something up with and its now something a developer (or yourself) can just modify without rebuilding everything. I'm a fan of pencil and paper sketches to begin and then code after that. Xcode makes it so easy to visually design things that I don't even mock things up in Illustrator or PS any more. And this is coming from someone who has a graphic design degree and works as a professional software (mostly iOS) engineer.
