To use a sport metaphor: Raiding in WOW for a lot of people is treated like inter-mural while the game changed into a more junior or minor league. Back before ICC, you could take 25 players and have a dozen players who where "serious" while the others where more casual and still beat a lot of the fights on Normal. For better or worse that formula doesn't work at all in Cataclysm let alone Dragon Soul. It went from "tossing the ball around in an afternoon" to "working on structured drills for the big game".

I do think there is a place for both types of raids but the tools need to be better if Blizzard wants us to "drill" where I'd first start off with a way on Normal to instantly "kill/reset" the fight.
