My understanding is that each raid is on the same difficulty scale with the first bosses about equal to each other and the final bosses about equal to each other.

I've heard that BoT was really easy, but haven't tried any raid yet.

The first bosses (Magmaw, Halfus, Conclave) are all relatively easy, and the next bosses get progressively more difficult.

At the bottom of the page it lists all of the raid bosses and you can see the percentage of the guilds who have downed them. This can give you a good indication of which bosses are easiest.
Magmaw: 40654 (92.91%)
Halfus Wyrmbreaker: 36739 (83.96%)
Omnotron Defense System: 35945 (82.15%)
Valiona and Theralion: 29677 (67.82%)
Maloriak: 28418 (64.95%)
Conclave of Wind: 26706 (61.03%)
Atramedes: 22481 (51.38%)
Chimaeron: 20826 (47.59%)
Ascendant Council: 19137 (43.73%)
Cho'gall: 12063 (27.57%)
Al'Akir: 9374 (21.42%)
Nefarian: 5901 (13.49%)

Well, not so much really. For instance, many raids/guilds only do Conclave/Al'Akir whenever there is time left at the end of the ID, and even then only for the shards. Some even skip it completely after getting their first kill.
Also, the order is just like that because some bosses need to be killed first before other are accessible.
Also lawlerskates at Cho'gall being more difficult than Atrametes or Council.

Imho he is. From a healer's perspective anyways (even though I play a tank :p). Council and Atramedes are all about avoiding damage, and most of the damage is avoidable (aside from P3 on council). On cho'gall tanks get hit like trucks.

Yeah, the hard part on Council is the soft enrage. The amount of 400k wipes or less that I've had in P3 ...
However, I feel that it got nerfed in 4.0.6.

Your first point is not relevant. The fact remains that Conclave and Al'akir have been downed and are thus reflected on the list. It doesn't matter if a guild only kills it one time and then never again, that guild has already been counted for completion. The only way your first point would be valid is if a guild chose NEVER to down those bosses.
Your second point is true though. If your guild is blocked by Council then you would obviously not have Cho'gall down either. However, there must be some reason that Cho'gall is at 27.57% and Council is at 43.73%. If Cho'gall was such a joke then he should be at least be close to 43% downed.
He's not. He must be harder then, unless you can come up with some reason why 43% can down Council but only 27% have downed Cho'gall. What is up with those 7000 guilds?

@Porcell
I was not aware that WoWProgress only counts one kill. I guess i'm still used to that site we had before wowprogress, whatever the name was. :)
Also i didn't mean to say that Cho'gall was "a joke", he certainly isn't (especially if you haven't figured out yet how to abuse the tentacle spawn, which we had not until 2 weeks ago :)). However, i do think he's easier than Antramedes and considerably easier than the Council.
The fact that people may only raid X days a week and thus may have time for the council but not enough time left to get Cho'gall may explain at least part of the difference in %.
Though of course all of that is only based on my experience with my guild.
These things tend to differ; i.e. we had absolutely no trouble with the 2 drakes from the very beginning, though were stuck on Atramedes for a while, whereas for other guilds it was the other way around.
