The most noticeable difference from having a .map file for a zone or not is the missing Line of Site (LoS). Without a map file, mobs have no LoS, and cannot see players to agro them, or share agro to nearby mobs. Also, spells have no LoS and so no detrimental spells can be cast in a zone without a .map file.
I already have dreadspire fully custom spawned on my server and added all doors and working on pathing now. The zone seems great and the new map files are working amazingly.
If you need them, I can probably post the doors I have setup so you can add them easily. Once I am pretty sure I have them all, I will be posting them anyway. I never saw the zone on live, so I am completely guessing at how the doors should be, but I am pretty sure they should be really close.
