Hard Mode raiding is here to stay

Not a contradiction. Hard modes feel like a copout because it's NOT NEW CONTENT. Oops, caps... :)

Sartharion with drakes is harder than without... but it's still the same basic content. If they deliver enough content this isn't an issue, but saying "Go do that encounter you've already seen in a hard mode" isn't a good rejoinder to "there's damn little content."

The problem with Wrath for some people is that Naxx wasn't that hard for many and Malygos, OS and VoA are short, single boss encounters (I don't count the drakes as bosses in OS). Contrast this to TBC where you had Kara, Gruul/Mag and THEN SSC and TK. Would TBC have been as appealing if 2.0 had shipped with Kara, Gruul and Mag and they say "But do Mag with channelers alive!!"? Of course not.
