Don't get me wrong, I believe Naxxramas was a great instance. It still is a great instance and I think the Kel'thuzad encounter is still one of the best encounters in the game right now.
But many people, myself included, play this game for new content. Putting Naxxramas on the frontline of the Wrath of the Lich King is not only the worst idea I've ever heard, it's also one of the laziest developement ideas you could come up with. Same bosses, same armor models, same trash - it's like going back in time 12 months except I have to pay $40.00 just to get "attuned".
You don't have to reuse the same instance just so people have a chance to experience it. People can go to Naxxramas right NOW and experience it.
If you want Naxxramas to be in some part of WotLK, put it in the storyline somewhere, but don't do this. Spending 80 game hours leveling from 70 to 80 just to wait for 24 other people to do the same thing then finally get to do an instance we've all done already isn't what i'd call motivation to buy this expansion.
