Attempting to design two of the major fights in the expansion is a bold undertaking, i'm afraid i can't say exactly what's missing, but there needs to be more abilites.
And stuff.
Alot more stuff.

Sounds really good and epic but needs more abilities.

There's so many reused abilities from various bosses troughout WoW.
I.E. The first phase of Deathwing is Nefarian p2 with a twist. Phase 3 is Sindragosa all over again, p4 is Lich King (while I do not disagree with the fact that major lore character play a huge role in the kill, hopefully more than you incline, it is once again just a copy from Lich King).
And as stated above: We. Need. More. Abilities.
The first 40% of Ragnaros consists of an interrupt and 5 adds every once in a while? I've lost that epic feeling..
Phase 2 of Ragnaros could also need a significant change, you've reused Nefarian's Crackle and you are trying to bring back the concept of Fire Elementals being immune to fire, a concept that was scratched long ago, and thank god for that. I like the idea of having the raid decide whether they want a fast but healing intense phase, or a drawn out phase that would require more dps to meet the enrage, though.
Also the enrage-timer in p3 of Ragnaros isn't soft by any stretch of the imagination - wiping the raid after x seconds is as hard as it gets. :)
Basically I'd expect both fights to be quite alot more epic in terms of lore characters, quotes and the like. Lich King was a pretty well thought-out fight but it did lack some epicness in my oppinion, especially regarding lore characters.
And shaving off 20% of a boss' health pool with such a low amount of abilities would make Deathwing extremely easy. There's no real raid wiping mechanic in place, basically you have to manage dispells (seen at Valiona and Theralion), split up (oh boy it's Baradin Hold) and heal trough a bit of AoE damage.
ReCaptcha asked me for a word containing the german double-S.. I have no such thing on my keyboard! :(
