SM would be cool if they made it heroic as well.

BRD
No other instance has the depth of play; Intricacies of quest lines that BRD does. The way the instance weaves together is amazing.
I assume that probably 99% of the population base hasn't seen the whole instance and done all the quests available in there.
I loved BRD. It gave great experience at a level range where back in the day, you could end up grinding out a few levels in Winterspring if you weren't careful. Loved the vault, bar, torches, etc, but Jail Break! still makes me cry at times though. UBRS was pretty decent too.
Speaking of crying, ST, Scholo and Live Strat still make me sad from all the pointless trash in those instances. LBRS, a little too because the only redeeming quality of that wing was to get keyed (so you didn't always have to find a friend to open the door) to do the fun UBRS.
Having said all that, Dire Maul was by far the most well designed and best set of vanilla dungeons in the game. I'm not sure I was really impressed by another instance until I got to the 3 TK 5-mans, which along with Kara, was probably the high point of WoW for me. Well, maybe SL ... but that's more personal preference. I still enjoy yelling TIME FOR FUN! every now and then.

UBRS when it was 15 man was my favorite. Can't believe you don't have deadmines listed there. "Lapdogs all of you." After those two probably ST.

This.
Deadmines is an old fav, but happy memories from 15-man days with just 8 of us top everything.
Even wiping was fun.... dying trying! 
edit: do you know, the best part was the fact that the game mechanics and boss mob (tricks et al) were still fresh then and we weren't burnt out from the grind of been there, seen that. I miss that.

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.

rofl...you're showing your age there.  Talk about a riot. While it was tough getting a full 15-man going for it, was still a blast.
LOL I remember 15 man UBRS runs very well - and wiping with 15 in there. Also I remember wiping with 15 and then later 10 in Stratholme and wiping with 10 in Scholo haha.
I loved how everyone would s**t a brick during a pull when an assassin would pop out halfway through and wipe half of the group in quick order.
It took skill to handle pulling that last room and a solid hunter for kiting on the last boss.

10-man UBRS when they changed it from 15 was cool too.
I often played a hunter so would end up kiting Drak back to The Beasts room 
Plus being one of the few people that actually put the work into getting the key was helpful. I was a hunter, after all.

That was a very cool sword. I had a friend that invested a lot time to get it and it was totally worth it, especially on a gnomish warrior. Of course, everything looked awesome on a gnomish warrior in vanilla.
My main is a lock, so I remember the summonable boss in West quite fondly. That was a fun event that I don't think a lot of people ever saw.

A competent hunter? 
jk, <3 hunters who knew how to kite, manage their pets and trap correctly back in the day. They were few and far between and absolutely priceless when you found one.
