Just leave it as it was in WotLK, you can't go wrong with that, the buff removal in ICC is enough for this server to be considered hard.
There is nothing worst to a server to be considered custom, and even if you try to justificate it with arguments it doesn't change the fact that if someone plays in naxx and finds mechanics that weren't on retail, then it will be considered as custom.
If you increase the hp and damage of the bosses, it won't be so notorious. So my vote is for either leave it as in retail or increase the hp and damage of the bosses.

Well techically they are not custom since the old mechanics were suppose to be apart of the wotlk Naxx but it never made it to the actual raid but i don't mind having it buffed since it was a complete joke in wrath. With the old mechanics from 40 man (the ones which can be applied without too much problems) can make it really interesting!
if you really wanna get technical, the green fire hawk and 410 heroic gear slots that were never supposed to be in the game were available via the marketplace but not in game on cata. now is that custom content? no because it was in the game files, but never made it to release.
Not yelling blizzlike, but if its supposed to be a blizzlike realm, do it blizzlike. If not, and you want to respect what the realm wants, lets make a poll about transmog for example.
Blizz-like: alike to Blizzard.
"Alike
adjective
having resemblance or similarity; having or showing no marked or important difference"
How "alike to Blizzard" and where it won't be "alike to Blizzard" is, in the last instance, up to the Administration and the Staff.
This thread is a case where it was decided to get the community's opinion and reasoning. Transmogrification won't be included, poll or no poll, for example.
