I haven't done anything beyond Gurtogg Bloodboil in BT, and I haven't done Archimonde in Hyjal yet (although the guild killed him after 4 nights of attempts). I also haven't done anything in Zul'Aman beyond the first two bosses.
Kael'Thas and Vashj would top of the list of the bosses that I have done.
Phase 2 of Vashj is probably the single most complicated sequence of combat for any boss I've done in the game. It's unusual in that you have seperate groups of people all doing different things, but everyone needs to have a view of the "big picture" and everyone needs to do their job or the attempt fails. It takes a while to develop a strategy that works well for your guild, then longer to perfect that strategy. Phase 1 and Phase 3 are no walks in the park, but they seem a lot easier in comparison to the middle phase. Phase 2 tests your tanks, your healers and your DPS to the limit.
Kael is slightly different. The fight keeps changing from phase to phase, and each phase has different traps for the unwary. Before the HP of the advisors and weapons got nerfed, phases 2 and 3 were brutal dps checks. The length of the fight means you have to maintain your concentration for a long time. Even in the "easy" stage 5, its not hard to accumulate gas cloud stacks then get insta-gibbed by Kael's ranged attack.
After those two I would probably put Magtheridon. Killing the channelers required high DPS and lots of crowd control, and before the mental exhaustion change, the cubes were very unforgiving on clicking mistakes.
