[Sunblaze]

nobody even mentions mogushan vaults?

[Okacz]

5) The Nexus
4) Blackwing Descent
3) Mogu'Shan Vaults
2) Icecrown Citadel

1) Vortex Pinnacle - absolutely stunning when you look around. It feels like they wanted the Skywall to be a zone, but it was too awesome for anybody to comprehend. Best visuals ever.

[Xerra]

Scarlet Mon - cathedral - vanilla
Onyxia's lair - vanilla
Azjol-Nerub - wrath
Halls of Origination - cata
Halls of Lightning - wrath

Those I loved because they had nice designs and really felt like what they were suppose to be.

[melzas]

Vanilla: Maraudon
BC: Karazhan
WotLK: Ulduar!
Cata: I agree with people saying Vortex Pinnacle/Throne of Four winds, even though I didn't really like neither as a dungeon/raid, the aesthetics of those zones are absolutetly blowing.
MoP: Throne of Thunder

I also like Halls of Origination... as someone above said, for all its flaws, Cata had really awesome looking instances, thats very true.

[Toffie]

Icecrown Citadel
Ulduar

Vortex Pinnacle AT NIGHT!!!

Looks amazing at night, the lighting changes completely and it looks serene. Took me months into the expac to realize it actually looks different at night, did most of my dungeon running during the day. Made special effort to try to run that one at night on my alts.
