Specially when you take this statement into account:

@Kaivax

Developers have scoured through vendor lists and treasure tables for items that were added in patches, and then attached them to the staged content unlock plan. This means that if a new item was originally added to a dungeon boss’s loot table with Ahn’Qiraj, you shouldn’t expect it to appear in WoW Classic until Phase 5, which is the phase that contains Ahn’Qiraj content.

There’s more to drop rates than just when they appeared on the table though. Ironfoe with a 1% drop rate is far different to Ironfoe with a 5% drop rate. The ‘catchup mechanisms’ that mid/late Vanilla included affected drop rates of significant items that would allow you to be more lenient on MC drops.
