A random idea that just popped into my head but why is it that the dungeon finder doesn't group similar geared folks in the same instance? I mean I love my rogue and I love dpsing but when I'm doing heroics for valor points to sell boots I don't want to be in the same group as the poor fellow who just hit 85 and got the minimum ilvl to tank. Now if they put 4 overgeared folks and 1 minimum geared person that would be understandable because those 4 could make up the lack of the 1 (often called carrying but it might work). Another possible solution to the recent frustration of the call to arms thing is make a call to arms random just for dps. So like once a day at a random time the call to arms flips from tanks and healers to needing dps.

Putting like-geared characters together means making easy groups easier and hard groups harder. While this would not be an inconvenience for the overgeared group, it would be for the undergeared group who are by that token less likely to defeat bosses (=gear up).
