If you say all the content is too easy, go kill Alagon every week. Without deaths, 1st attempt. Since it is so easy.
Easy, compared to pre-BC content, would not be defined as one-shotting every boss everywhere, it is defined as Ulduar's world first clear being 16 hours after release, while it took 4 months for AQ40 to be cleared for the first time. LK content is
easier
, by far - not necessarily a cake-walk.
Easy, often meaning short and quick - which LK dungeons, for the most part, are very short and quick. Whereas with pre-BC content, you have extremely long dungeons, such as BRD, ST, Mara etc. Easy, means that it can be cleared by okay-geared, uncoordinated people. Hard, meaning that it might be cleared by a group of very well geared, excellently coordinated, dedicated players - after a many, many attempts.
Easy, meaning wipes happen, but not terribly often.
Hard, meaning 30 level 80's wipe continuously in a level 60 raid, on a trash pull.

Blizzard already said that raids will get progressively harder. T7 was a joke, and t8 is moderate. So, I'd expect t9 content to be relatively hard at first. Naturally they'll nerf the $%^& out of it all but it will be a nice challenge like Ulduar was at first (siege and antechamber are joke status now).

My point of view:
Vanilla had 3 raid tiers (5 if you include 0 and 0.5): Tier 1 (MC), Tier 2, (BWL), and Tier 3 (Naxx40), along with ONE other raid instance (ZG).
TBC had 3 raid tiers (4 if you include your class's dungeon set): Tier 4 (Kara, Gruul's, Mag's), Tier 5 (TK: The Eye and SSC), and Tier 6 (BT and SWP).
Thus, based off of the fact that each expansion prior and the original Vanilla had 3 raid tiers of gear, I expect that there will only be one more raid tier released in WotLK.
Tier 7 (OS/Naxx 10), Tier 7.5 (OS/Naxx25), Tier 8 (Ulduar 10), Tier 8.5 (Ulduar 25), and 2 other raid instances (EoE 10/25 and VoA 10/25).
Tier 9 will most likely be the last raid tier of WotLK, and will possibly include multiple raid instances as Icecrown Citadel seems like it would be only a few bosses (maybe 4-5 at the most, including Arthas?).
There will also most likely be some "filler" raids to keep people interested, as some other people have pointed out: possibly a new wing in VoA, more dragonshrine raids (because there is a portal for each dragonflight under Wyrmrest Temple), possibly Gun'drak (although the building itself seems a bit small to be a decent size raid), Uldum in Tanaris, lower Karazhan, etc. etc. The ideas are many and large, but we won't know until Blizzard tells us.
You forgot Ahn'Qiraj

I wouldn't be surprised if they added another raid in the wyrmrest temple. I've noticed there are several portals, but one is accessible at this time. Perhaps there are plans to have them all opened eventually?

Yes there would have to be more raids before ICC. Gundrak raid, maybe an Uldum 5-man, other colored OS, another VoA boss, maybe even an under-Kara. What I am really hoping for is another quest hub area similar to the Isle. Would be nice to have somewhere that is based around a instance, with dailies and such with some kind of server goal. Not sure how it would work lorewise though....
I think the Argent Tournament area is something like that for the ICC raiding. Although not an isle (if you hadn't noticed ;). At least i think i read that somewhere anyways.
Feel free to Correct/Elaborate though.
