Why aren't solo instances coming to WoW?

I agree that this would never happen, it would be a total waste of developer resources. That said, wouldn't it be awesome if...

Each class had their own solo instance, with encounters specifically designed to test that player's skill at their class. Think of something like the Rhok'delar (Hunter) quest - you had to fight four demons, each with a weakness to certain of your abilities. Each fight was tough, but doable.

Maybe other parts of these 1-player instances could be more "puzzle" oriented, like a dungeon in the Zelda games or something. BC showed a lot more originality in quest/content design, and this would be a sort of next step.

One thing WoW lacks is really difficult single-player content. I know WoW is a social game, but still - doing this kind of solo stuff would make you a better player as a group.
