How is this server for hardcoreish raiding?

I want a private server where I can relive the end days of WotLK.

What kind of experience will I have here if I bought some entry level tank gear as a Prot Paladin?
What is different from vanilla in the raiding scene? And would you say its equally as fun as how retail WotLK was back in the day? Is vent required or is it easymode?

Thanks.

Go play on Lordaeron for PvE if you want hardcore raiding

Hardcore raiding, real hardcore raiding does not exist here as in all of warmane. Lord has 3.3.5 talents with bosses buffed to the hills to compensate. Icecrown is full of guilds who either casually kill end game bosses when they are working or get burnt out after 6 months of doing 5 H icc's a week and die out. As all the realm firsts have been taken here there is no real push however like their might be on Lord.
