Our UX Design team has been using Axure for workflow, wireframe and also to build (low-high fidelity) prototypes.
You output an HTML prototype, as well as a word document with screens and notes as spec document. The interactivity can be somewhat limited for more sophisticated functionality, but so far we've been able to get a lot done with this tool. The application is pretty simple to use, so the learning curve is not so bad. http://www.axure.com/default.aspx We also use iRise, which is much more robust and obviously a lot more expense too, which has impacted its dissemination internally. Learning curve is much greater than Axure. Some of us went through training with iRise consultants. The huge downside on iRise, in my opinion, is the fact that you can't output HTML, you have to use their proprietary reader for folks to review the prototype and spec document. http://www.irise.com/ If you want to try something that gives you more flexibility on the early stages of the project and not have to spend too much time creating your wireframes, I would recommend Axure.
