low item level (910 pre-tomb of sargeras) mage tower for prot pala is easily harder than the vast majority of mythic raid bosses in the game. Its probably only beaten by stuff like Mythic Kil'jaeden

Sadly this includes all mage towers. Many mage towers were easily one-shottable even in the lowest gear levels, like disc priest, BM hunter and so on (the worm boss, forget his name, was notoriously the most easy.)
Then other ones were very easy too, such as the imp mother. She could even be cheesed with world buffs that did half of your total damage.
Then you got to the harder dps ones, which were still quite easy, like Sigryn.
Then the healer ones, a step above that and lastly, the tank ones, but even there the gap in skill required was huge. Bears could ignore half the mechanics, so could vengeance DHs. Meanwhile, paladins had to deal with all of it and also had to do double the damage of other tanks.
Just for a comparison, myself, doing all 36, on average 1-5 shotted all DPS challenges in 7.2. The average for healer was 7. Tanks the average was 20, but the easiest was Guardian druid, which i did in 4 attempts, meanwhile, the prot paladin one took me 60 attempts. It was also my most geared character by far and my main. I barely knew how to play the other specs.
For comparison to just how easy some of the DPS ones were - i did sigryn as ret, which i hadn't played since MoP, doing grey percentile dps (for my item level), taking so long i was able to use bloodlust twice and it still only took me two tries. I had time to stop half way through the fight and look through my spellbook, discovering a cool new spell 'wake of ashes', too.
If you even blinked for most of the prot paladin challenge in 910-ish ilvl, you were instantly dead
