Vanilla: AQ20
Tbc: Hyjal
Wotlk: T7
Cata: DS
MoP: MSV
Overall: T7
I can't bring myself to hate ToC simply because in my opinion the Argent Tournament has some of the most beautiful music in the game and I'll always associate the raid with it. That and I really enjoyed the encounters.
I don't think I really dislike any raid in the way that I used to.
Naxx rework or dragon soul
It's not whether you get knocked down; it's whether you get back up.
Naxx25 is quite obviously the worst ever, if you count it. Rehashed raid from 2.5 years prior, with the worst balancing in the history of WoW raids. Most organized groups 1-shot all its bosses on night #1 of T7 raiding, while wearing quest greens/blues. I can only assume the people saying Dragon Soul weren't playing in T7.
On the other hand, if you don't count Naxx25 (since it was a rehash, not an original raid), then the worst designed is probably ToC or Molten Core.
Oh, I was crazily dissapointed in Naxx 10 & 25 since Naxx was what looked like the best raid ever in Vanilla. However, Dragon Soul is beyond that, the way it further butchered Deathwing's character, how it was nothing but a poor excuse to keep on over-glorifying Thrall, and the boss battles. Naxx 10 & 25 might have sucked big time, but at least every boss battle wasn't tedious to do, at least it didn't butcher any major lore characters like Dragon Soul did, at least it looked awesome. Dragon Soul still had nothing on Naxx 10 & 25.
I know I am getting hated for this but
Onyxia 25/10 man (wrath version)
Trial of the crusader
Dragon soul
Malygos (forgot it's name)
No you never saw Kael in SWP. There were demons in the room summoning him IIRC and you started the fight as soon as you killed them so technically they were kind of part of the boss encounter like Magtheridon.
I don't quite understand the ToC hate. It was something different in a world of trash, boss, trash, boss etc and it's funny because some of the same people complain about trash. 1 raid with no trash is not the end of the world nor does it make it terrible.
Also I don't understand the "butchering of Deathwing" since much like Illidan they were both overhyped and Cata actually expanded on him to a degree more than any of the other games minus the books.
"In life, I was raised to hate the undead. Trained to destroy them. When I became Forsaken, I hated myself most of all. But now I see it is the Alliance that fosters this malice. The human kingdoms shun their former brothers and sisters because we remind them what's lurking beneath the facade of flesh. It's time to end their cycle of hatred. The Alliance deserves to fall." - Lilian Voss
Going to say throne... can't stand the disjointed raid with what seems like half assed bosses that simple don;t fit together
Seems like a lot of people are disappointed with ToT. I wouldn't know since I haven't played for at least half a year, but I think it's funny how Blizzard kept comparing it to Ulduar during development when it in the end, for some reason, clearly didn't live up to the hype. What do you others think about ToT?

You cannot do that while stunned.

You die.
You are dead.
Moten Bore off hand, if counting the progression of the game and judging each raid by when it came out, Dragon Soul.
I really didn't like ToGC but it was miles better than Dragonsoul.
This one time, I joined an ICC pug, it looked promising, but the leader had a save with 1 boss killed, we took our chances and got saved and after a couple of unsuccesful attempts on Deathwhisper, which were fully to blame on the leader (bad coordination, removing marks that tanks put on adds etc.), he disbanded the raid. WORST RAID EVER!
Oh... you mean in general? I was never really content with the MC layout, having to run back and forth and back again... and the curses are a pain when you're soloing even at 90.
Oh... you mean at level? Yeah, Dragon Soul... Btw, I loved ToC/ToGC. The Twin Val'kyr HC progress is one of my 3 fondest progress memories (the others being Lady Vashj and Lich King).
