As the previous three posts might lead you to believe, Ulduar is difficult, but not impossible. The fights so far have been tricky, complex, and at times frustrating, but they are very much doable with a good raid group and good coordination.
Without a doubt, Mimiron is the hardest fight before Yogg Saron, at least on regular mode. Even though we got some time on General Vezax, he's pretty easy to deal with in comparison. Mimiron, on the other hand, will weed out the people who can't pay enough attention very quickly, and on top of that there are still a few mechanics in the fight (Rocket Strike on the tank in Phase 4 comes to mind [Krunch edit: You mean how the tank moves to dodge Laser barrage and somehow ends up in front of the boss even though he's clearly behind it.]) that are really clunky to deal with.
In the end though, despite losing 3/4 of the raid, we "killed" the smug little fucker. To do it on the first night of work on him was pretty hot.

Very solid night, including some damn good progress on General Vezax. Sadly, we ran out of raid week, but next week should be pretty killer.
