I can't say anything for newer wow as I haven't touched it, but Wotlk had Icecrown and Ruby sanctum which were a blast for me everytime I would raid.
I played during WotLK and that's not at all how I remember ICC being. The bosses are probably better than ICC now, but they still are lackluster and not very exciting compared to FFXIV's (Savage/Ult) raids. The only thing WoW raids have going for them is the areas are cool, but it's also their weakness, because you have to clear trash every time. In ICC, it had some RNG, but you generally knew what was about to happen thanks to DBM. WoW raiding is almost as scripted as FF due to addons, so the "anything can happen" factor is not really there. It does have more RNG swirlies to not stand in, but WoW boss mechanics are easier and more forgiving.
