I guess expansion main baddies are picked based on their coolness and not relative strength, then?
Edit: If you take into consideration our (players) growth throughout the expansions and the power we've gained over time, I'd say at the end of MoP we'd probably rank about 10-11 on your list. Remember that we killed most of those with massive groups of heroes, and with a 1v1 fight I think one person would be able to give Illidan a run for his money at this point in the game's timeline.
