Take FL for exemple, it was a fun fight before we got hardmode, was a extremly fun fight to progress in hardmode and even now its ok. Was clearly an improvment after malygos which wasn't that bad, considering most of the naxx fights which were ...bleh. If we take that they are improving, IC will probably have a uber nice mount fight, and considering that you play your character in raids full time, a moment when you coordonate a vechicule with other abilitys and movment style is cool. What worry me is that after a cool system of mounted fight they introduced in the argent tournament dailys, they transfered that in the new 5man and resulted a very bugged and stupid encoutner, which annoys alot of ppl. We can hope that they've learned from this mistake, which probably was generated by the rush of releasing 3.2... mounted bosses are fun, if they are tuned correctly.

Am I playing my class to have the same skills as every other raidmember? Is there any boss more boring than Flame Leviathan or this first "boss" in the new 5-man? 31 bosses would be nice, but in my opinion there is no chance that those would be completly new.
