Icecrown Citadel Raid Boss Difficulty Ranks

People often make the mistake of assuming that a raid instance follows a linear increase in encounter difficulty. It is also easy to get lost in your particular role and view an encounter's difficulty as gauged solely by your raid function. For example, a melee dps might consider Festergut a cakewalk while the healer is consulting his doctor about carpel tunnel syndrome. Below are my general difficulty rankings for the encounters available thus far in ICC, followed by role specific lists. Reasonable minds might differ and I would love to hear how your list would differ from mine.
