So I'm considering a change to Unholy for my tanking, which consists mainly of ToC/ToGC 10, and occasionally ToC/ToGC 25 if one of the main tanks is absent. I do fine with Blood, but I've been Blood...

I would say without a doubt that Iron Council, Thorim, Hodir, and XT-002 hardmodes are all easier than FL+4, even with the nerfs to FL. The rest of your assertion seems correct though.
