We had multiple tanks with Thunderfury, multiple Shamans with Sulfuras, and more than 75% of our raid team (I actually still have the docs from our website spreadsheet) had full Tier 2.
To correct you, it wasn't true in your experience. BWL was by no means hard to clear towards the end of Vanilla. Hell, there were two whole raids that succeeded it. Now if you had said Naxxramas and AQ40? I'd agree. BWL? Nah.
In your defense, I'll say that this is only from my perspective. The server(s) you played on and tracked may have been complete dogshit in terms of raiding. *shrug*
