Also remembered another issue with doing this. Note these don't apply if you're just mount farming, but if you're killing stuff for transmog, pets, etc:
- Because you can't kill cat lady first, you have to come back from Mim the long way instead of being able to port to Freya's room
- IIRC You can't kill Daddy Bigarms from the other side
- Therefore, if you want to kill Algalon or ANY of the bosses before him, you have to kill FL anyway
So unless you're just speed mount farming, skipping FL isn't efficient at all. (or wasn't, assuming the change stays and all of this is moot anyway) Can't go back in time to time it out exactly now, but I really feel like even just the walk back from Mim is shorter than killing FL+trash, or at least very, very close.

Gaming and WoW stuff
It was months ago, so I may be remembering incorrectly. What I'm remembering is that without killing anything before killing Mim, there's nowhere to port to except back to the beginning. It only happened to me the once, so certainly if you were doing it every week, you're the expert on it.
EDIT: I might be conflating stuck-in-combat issues with my memory of this one.
Totally get it. People run these for other things besides the mounts though, so just throwing the info up. That said, while I think the health scaling issue is an accident and will be fixed, I think the port is probably not and won't be fixed. So it doesn't really matter anyway.And that's why.
Some ulduar changes:
-All hardmode drops now have a separate chest, for all boss with one(FL, 4 keepers(Hodir already did), yoggsaron.. I actually cannot remember on Iron Assembly). Gotta be careful for mimiron's head farmers, as it will most likely be in that hard mode chest now, and not on yogg's corpse
-As some said, ulduar tram isn't unlocked by default, however, you can still instantly unlock spark of imagination by killing Auriaya(like before).

Transmog has expansion level limits now instead of individual items. Overall this means you can use it much earlier.
Level 1 for Vanilla (including Tier sets)
Level 58 for TBC/Wotlk
Level 78 for Cata
Level 80 for MoP
Level 90 for WoD
Level 98 for Legion.

Class Trials are no longer able to get Hero's Call quests from the board in SW/Orgri
Rip tauren old models from 2004-2018.
Ha. LFR will be removed just as old models
A few more things I found:
-Savage Leather drop from skinning in Fireland was nerfed(now drops alot of scraps).
-Dragon soul: The trash for Hagara comes fully spawned, instaed of by wave.(they are all there when entering).
-- We can now see the target of the dragon spit for the ship battle boss fight again.
-Npc north near Silithus entrance, and south next to the gong allows you to switched back and forth between before and after the sword hit.
-- Same thing for Theramore in dustwallow Marsh.(icon shown on map).

With the HP adjustments, bosses are now back to what they use to be. Ambershaper Unsok and Sha of Fear took me ~5 seconds longer than my previous kills. These bosses were doable as early as ilvl 900 for me on my DH, so with 930+ being handed out for free these days it shouldn't be an issue.
I don't raid mythic, just heroic. My paladin is ~950 in Ret gear, and got no where close to failing these fights. I am however about to try The Butcher in Highmaul, that fight was always really close, so we'll see how it goes.
Edit: Both Kargath and Butcher took almost the exact same amount of time as before. I beat both my records for the fights by about 1 second each. So MoP raids are "slightly harder", but no one with should have issues with them on a character that's even slightly up to par, and WoD raids seem to be the same as before.

While running Mythic SoO I noticed the loot was set to FFA by default(I used to need to make a fake group, in LFG then turn to raid and set to FFA) but now I get all the trash loot and tons of loot from boss hmm..
Another change: Galakas fight, the south tower cannon is now useless(the target is stuck on the cannon, doens't shoot out?), you have to dot he fight allt he way to unlock the north tower to get galakas down.
(This could be from the hp hotfix though)
