I raided enough in 2.0 to see Baha and Nael, didn't raid much at all in 3.0, and came back to the raid game for 4.0. This savage tier is fun but felt less punishing and more accessible which was nice given I am midcore at best, above average but nothing special. So with that context out of the way....

Ultimate is tons of fun. The wipes are so brutally fast and the mechanics are so tight, it feels amazing to get things right. Because it's optional there's no real frustration about missing out on pages or gear or future fights, so that helps a lot. I ground out Twin for over 2 hours last night, didn't beat her, but the feeling of how buttery smooth the fight ran when people were consistently getting to <20% is something I haven't seen since 2.0. I don't find it frustrating at all, it's just darn fun content. The last time I had this much enjoyment during raiding was 4.0 Hali Drg when I had my LoTD windows planned out and the flow of the fight was so smooth~
