Blackwing Decent (prior to 6/28)
Normal Magmaw kills: 61,875
Heroic Nefarian kills: 2484
Completion Percentage: 4%

Throne of the Four Winds
Normal Conclave kills: 48423
Heroic Al'akir kills: 1763
Completion Percentage: 3.64%

Bastion of Twilight:
Normal Halfus kills: 63,350
Heroic Sinestra kills: 1125
Completion Percentage: 1.78%

Firelands (prior to 11/29)
Normal Shannox kills: 52,333
Heroic Rag kills: 1740
Completion Percentage: 3.32%

Obviously the completion percentages are lower than reality as wowprogress only tracks guilds and I'm sure there were a number of pug kills of early bosses in some of these raids.
Heh, funnily enough after you pointed out the issue with Wowprogress data collection last night I started updating all the data to ensure it properly matched with the date ranges I set out to track. In addition, I also realized that some of the Tiers (namely last expac) were split between West and Asia, so I had to go through both data sets to find the correct numbers and add them up. As you said, it was a total pain in the ass to click through the pages.

Anyway, the original post/data/charts have all been updated to reflect the proper date ranges and account for worldwide numbers on all fronts. I've also updated/edited the original post to reflect the changes.

The biggest difference is that the gap between Blackrock and other zones isn't going to end up being quite as severe (with it falling around the same completion as Terrace of Endless Spring).
