As someone who's been playing since classic, I can't help but agree with jjustaposter (and am disappointed his comment got so badly down-ranked).

The 10 man I'm used to is UBRS, which we ran pretty much non-stop. Kara was just a road bump to 25-man content. I get why people like it, but it doesn't feel like a raid to me. I think my guild feels the same way, as we get through 10 man content quite easily, but we're still trying to get back to a 25-man roster.

As to the tuning argument, the difference is night and day. We're 8/8, and still come within 15 seconds of the Ultraxion enrage timer on 25... but if we don't have enough people, and split to two 10 man's (which means two tanks and usually one healer who aren't main spec), we'll beat the timer easily. Hell, once that was with one of our guild's best dpsers (and our 10 man's only brez) being an idiot and not clicking his button on the first Hour of Twilight. It's become a weekly argument since we started splitting that we should just have two 10-mans because it's a lot easier. If it weren't for the fact that there's a core of 16-18 that mostly get along and want to all raid together, we probably would have.

TL;DR: Right now, people who want to 25-man will do 25-mans. People who want to do 10-mans do 10-mans. The issue is that right now, people who don't have a preference do 10-man (except for maybe rogues, but even then they're not going to be near the top of priority for the legendary).
