In 25-man we got 6 pieces of loot. If I remember it was 2x T11 gloves, 1x T11 legs, 2 random PVP pieces, and 1 PvE piece.

Next we went to Blackwing Descent and did Magmaw. This is a pretty tough boss with 101 million hp. Took us quite a few wipes before we figured out a good strategy for it, but it, but we did get him down after a while. We got 5 pieces of loot here: 3 of the same 2-handed mace, and 2 other pieces.
I noticed you guys did 25 man. What is your reason for this compared to doing the 10 man versions? Is 25 man still the de-facto "real" raid even though their difficulty is supposed to be the same? Feels like because 10 man would be easier, it'd be much easier to progress...then you can do 25 man to farm more loots.

I still think unless they completely change the instance (by making the rooms smaller in 10 man) for 10 man vs 25 man, 10 man will ALWAYS be easier, since there is more room to spread out for the spread out mechanics, and more room to drop bad debuffs or kite.
