Primordius was easy and Animus only took a couple attempts once I used that earth elemental trick described earlier (I'm gonna miss our elementals in Legion). But when it comes to Iron Qon, I'm just stuck there in phase 2, stunned with no way to heal, and he just wails on me until I die. I tried popping wolves and defensive cooldowns just before the stun goes out, but it's still not enough to survive until I can damage him again.
I'll probably not do serious mount/pet farming in Mists raids until 110, but it's been fun to attempt raids that I don't just burn through thanks to scaling changes. I remember trying earlier in the expansion and having problems because of low gear, but it's more doable now with better gear. Still, older raids are kinda funny nowadays. 25H Rag is hilarious with all my gear now, I can burn him from 100% to 1% before he finishes submerging, and it's pretty amusing to watch all the elementals spawn like they have no idea what's going on. Don't get me started on the Lich King (who finally dropped Invincible for me a couple weeks ago!).
Side note, the Mark of Supreme Doom is honestly a pretty great trinket for soloing. The big chunk of leech helps with self-healing so you don't have to blow so many Maelstrom stacks on healing, and the avoidance is nice to lower some incoming damage. And run speed is always nice. I know everyone hates it in current content, but I think it's underrated for soloing.
