You know what's scary? Statements like "no resists on any boss in TBC" from people who have not done every single boss in TBC and people that speak in absolutes like "IT'S NEVER EVER EVER useful except for pvp". Unless you are on the dev team and know how much resists go on each mob in the game you you can't speak in absolutes.
I'd like to see parses both ways. However, I'm not going to tell warlocks hey don't put up COE for me because I want to do some testing. I'd wager that Nightbane has some fire resistance from the times that I've done him without COE up. However, i'm not going to come into a thread with no evidence and say HEY HE HAS FIRE RESIST with no conclusive evidence. Likewise I would expect those who come in and say "there are no bosses with resists in TBC" to have some evidence to support that claim.
Shaman testing might be a bit easier since there is no -nature resist curse (i guess besides thunderfury) and you can control your individual penetration gear better. However, that would just be for nature resists and wouldn't prove anything about the other schools of damage.
