As per the title, has anyone ever tried importing any of the dimensions into a Rifts, or Fantasy type game?
How did it work out?

As long as you don't post anything that smacks of illegal conversions.

"Trouble rather the Tiger in his Lair,
Than the Sage among his Books,
For all the Empires and Kingdoms,
The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

I was more thinking of who has done it, and what were the results?

You have the bad boys of MtG

Pretty much Old Ones by any other name, incorporeal beings that exist in the Void between universes.

Incidentally, the Eldrazi are connected to vampires of the MtG cosmology, if memory tricks me not. One weird way of adapting them might be to treat Vampire Intelligences as fragments of the Eldrazi, for example.
But speaking of their capacities per se, their enviroment-twisting powers/presence makes me think of the Host in Wormwood, for example.

Maybe make the Eldrazi lesser old ones?
And the current Great Old Ones more akin to those seen in Doctor Who, existing in the Void between universes.
Why not have the Eldrazi as the origin of vampires and Wormwood?

Some sort of supernatural intelligence or other should do fine, i guess.
