LFR is a horrible feature and it should never be applied to old raids
dont see the point of wasting devs time by making old raids lfr compatable , i.e. dumb down encounters with no real mechanics that are basicly there as a loot pinyata , keeping in mind that ppl usually leave after one wipe, just so ppl can experience an old raid. old raids are gone ,tuning all or some of them just for lfr is a waste of time imo.
None! Absolutely none.
Think of some of the most popular raids in WoW. Ulduar and Karazhan comes to mind. Though many would say the opening of the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj, Sunwell, Naxx40 etc. (everyone has different opinions on this, but these seem to be the most popular). What do these have in common? They each had a distinct and stunning atmosphere, tailored music to complete the atmosphere etc. But most importantly, they were hard, required skill, time and dedication.
If LFR had existed for Ulduar, it would not be epic at all. It would be a boring grind. Why? Because everyone would get to see it! Everyone would get to finally kill that bastard General Vesax and reach Yogg-Saron, the god of Death.
I quit just after reaching level 85 in Cataclysm but started again in the Firelands patch and started gearing through Heroics.
At the end of Cataclysm I had not completed a single raid of the expansion, except one, Dragon Soul, only because it took 30 minutes in LFR. I don't even remember the raid! I don't care about it. It hasn't put a stamp on my memory like Ulduar or Karazhan did, or even Blackwing Descent, Bastion of Twilight or Firelands, raids I didn't even complete.
Because it required no time, skill and dedication.
You may say that pre-LFR raids should be in LFR because they are no longer relevant. I get that. It's nice to go back to these raids. But keep the filthy hands of LFR away from them. Let them stay epic.
Sorry if this was a rant.
And also, the location of the raid is a part of the raid. I mean, seeing the Lair of Onyxia in Dustwallow Marsh before entering was kind of epic. Looking at Naxxramas floating above Eastern Plaguelands was also kind of essential to the atmosphere of the raid. So teleporting directly inside the raid with a bunch of strangers makes you miss out on something too.

Heenk: sorry, but the lfr hate army is just out in full retard force here, they can't read or comprehend or understand the original question at all.
As for the OP question, I'd be torn between Black Temple or Sunwell. Both were awesome fun experiences.
MC, since then it would have been in the game since the beginning and we woud not have all the weeping and wailing over the loss of imagined prestige now.

And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise, And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body, Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.
I think that ToC should have been with both a 10 and 25 player LFR, on seperate lockouts of course, aswell as ToGC of course having its own 10 and 25 LFR on seperate lockouts. Would have worked great combined with the asian double reset they had (have?).

I wouldn't have cared for an LFR version of any raid. The ones that I didn't get to raid at the time seemed far more mysterious because they were out of my reach. I would not have appreciated them the same way if I could have just queued for an easier version.
I also can't specifically think of a raid that would've specifically stood out in LFR. I would expect for them all to have been converted similarly. The 10-man raids might've been interesting if the LFR versions remained 25-man.
Admittedly it can be bit of a shame that the LFR models are lost to players who have leveled past the required level.

None. LFR is the most ridiculous thing that's been added to the game. It's dumb that people can go do some raids at anytime they feel like it or if they aren't in a raiding guild.

So, to have max-level "new" versions of old raids? No thanks. And if they will be LFR'able only at their respectable brackets - just look at Dragon Soul - it would take you much longer than eternity to get into DS LFR now.
