Wasn't the hardest Boss, disregarding VERY early wow where only the severest class stacking helped because half the classes got fisted by the itemisation, the classic 4 Horsemen?

Catas first raid tier was cool(as where the 5 man heroics, they just got overgeared/nerfed way too quick). Fun bossfights on normal and nothing was totally faceroll, Heroic mode changed most of the fights in an interesting way... Alltogether really nicely done except that the 10 / 25 man balance in Heroics was totally fucked up on some Bosses....
Firelands... "meh", I never liked it but the Ragnaros fight was cool.

Dragon Soul? What the fuck were they thinking...

Not even going to comment big on the "raid finder" except that its an abomination and makes sure that I and many others won't ever touch this game again.

I'm bit on the fence about it, early expansion has most of the time been most fun time to play the game (aside from stuff like Ulduar that came in later patch), but I'm not sure if I want to go through re-setting up my UI and stuff, anyone who played beta here? How were the dungeons, raids, pet battles and stuff?

Honestly, having played through a fair amount of the beta content it's really good. I think people will be surprised how good Mists of Pandaria is once you put aside that it's Panda land (for some people seemingly off-putting) The dungeons are good, the scenarios are decent. The questing is great. Pet battles is like pokemon, not as deep but still pretty addicting and the best new profession since WoW's inception. (screw you, archeology)

How is raid finder an abomination ? I never understood the hate for it. Could someone explain ?

It made raids so easy that you could plain ignore half the boss mechanics and therefore gave away all the excitement of meeting this new Boss that is gonna woop your ass several times now.

Having the same fight harder in it's "true form" for guilds is not the same thing. Thats why i liked early Cata... The Bosses weren't really hard but they were far from freeloot... Heroics were truely challenging and altered some fights big time (i'm no big fan of heroics either but well.... thats a lost battel :p). People saying these fights were to hard for average joe were just retarded, none of the (non-heroic) fights needed any enourmous feat aside from "move out of the fire and do your simple job".

I haven't raided really hardcore ever, i haven't seen all content in classic, tbc or woltk (well, later with Catalevels ) but that was ok, there was still something fresh/new to encounter, Sunwell was glorious... Boy did we get our asses wooped back in the day (we made it past Brutallus iirc) but at least everything in there was "fresh".
