The re-dux had literally no changes to it and was quite a poor launch to raiding in the expansion. This time around Kel'thuzad lived all of three days (or zero since they entered the raid).

Hardmode 25

The first instance of hard modes, Sartharion + 3 drakes introduced the shortlived mechanic to WotLK.

The "vehicle" mechanic was a big part of WotLK and Malygos had a really good final phase, riding dragons and taking different roles.

Hardmode 25

One of the most well loved raids to this day, Ulduar featured some of the best bosses of all time. It was also the final raid to have hardmodes. Yogg'saron was alive for 85 days.

Heroic 25

Possibly the least liked raid ever (not counting Ruby Sanctum), TotGC was very innovative, as it introduced limited number of attempts and Heroic mode. Heroics opened on 01.09.2009. The rankings and kill dates on the early bosses may not be accurate. Anub'arak was alive for 7 days.

Heroic 25

We finally got to confront the Lich King, but not too fast - ICC had gating in Normal mode and limited attempts on Arthas Heroic, which is part of the reason why he stayed alive for 46 days. Heroic modes opened on 09.02.2010.

Possibly the worst raid ever? In any case, a really bad end to a pretty great expansion.
