Awww, poor pet! Sounds about similar to my warlock's experience then
hehe :-)

Both of them are cool, and should be fine on 10-man, although some
fights will make you think and take a couple of attempts, most likely!
Don't try heroic modes (you'll likely do some accidentally in Ulduar,
but the ones that require intentional turning on, like Mimiron's
"don't press this button", just don't ;-)) or 25-man though, 10N is
the safest bet! Oh and DO ask the Ulduar keepers to help you with
Yogg-Saron, unless you want to spend several wipes learning the
hardmode mechanics ;-)

Black Temple, Sunwell, Naxx, Trial of the Crusader are all pretty easy
too if you never did them at the time, Cata raids will be more
challenging and you'll likely run out of time, I'd focus on Wrath/TBC
for faster fun :-)
