If I was a new player and my first dungeon was Atal’Dazar I would’ve never gotten addicted to this game

What’s so bad about it? It’s quite fast, the mechanics aren’t too bad,…

If I had to do Deadmines again I would uninstall the game

What I meant more is the experience we had back then versus now. You’re right though 
Not when the people in the group haven’t learned interrupt yet, because low level, for the second boss (Vol’kaal).
If there is no interruption on cast that boss become a nightmare for new people.
The only dungeons I dislike are the ones with much NPC talk, just annoying, especially the one with the dwarf, Halls of Whatever.
Try classic BFD. I dare you!
Atleast it’s easy to navigate. I used to get lost trying to enter Deadmines…

The more annoying thing is that current dungeons are also created in mind with interrupts, mitigations and dispells. Currently disco’ing. Did my first legion dungeon on lvl 13. Finding out i can not dispel aqua bombs and stuff. Helya also puts pretty nasty dots on a target… Maybe on chromie time we should get immedialtey some basic spells added.
And if i was a new player i would be very happy with deadmines

That would be most of Pandaria then, odd since you chose to play as a panda. Panda NPCs just don’t know when to stop talking.
Thank the gods for that. Deadmines is great but it’s hardly the most challenging modern dungeon Blizz have made. AD/Freehold are modern, have modern mechanics and modern art.
So you prefer Atal’Hakar?
Deadmines, wailing caverns, dire mauls… the dungeons that makes you want uninstall wow…
As for Freehold being 1st dungeon for ally side - I don’t think there is a better dungeon in WoW to take that spot - pirates, voice acting (the ring alone is so good), very visualy pleasing…
As for Atal’dazar - it’s an ok dungeon, not very amazing, but I would just throw Freehold for both factions.
Op you just have bad taste
For me it’s mostly PTSD from doing so much M+, it was my second most hated BfA M+ key, only hated King’s Rest more (coincidence that the two dungeons are so close to each other, garbage attracts garbage it seems).

Nobody will ever experience it… It’s kill 2 pack, skip everything, kill 2 pack and last boss…
It should be changed in my opinion, like you can’t get the rewards if you haven’t kill every boss.

My 1st dungeon experience was deadmines and it was quite epic.
At start of game we bunch of noobs didn’t even know what dungeon for or what is dungeon entrance for?
Questing in same zone, someone made 5 player party for quest and leader left. We all 4 players ended up entrance of deadmines. Curiosity lead us to enter it and we started pulling and wiping - those elite suckers really hit hard.
We improvised and I started tanking as ret and actually using taunt. Carefully pulling but still dieing sometimes also kiting. But we managed to clear it without healer or tank.
Everyone felt so proud and mission accomplished in those quest gears.

. Didn’t choose the race because of their talking abilities
