Winners: ten man raiders. Equal loot completes the legitimizing of ten-man raiding, though the 10 vs 25 debate will continue on forever.

Losers: low population servers. I have NO general data to back me up, but I would bet that the decline in WoW's population has hit low pop servers the worst. Factor in paid character transfers and my server pop (Hakkar, 2nd lowest among US realms) has decreased by more than 70% since the release of Cata. At the start of Cata we had 5-25 man, 13 10-man guilds who killed at least one raid in BWD/BoT/TotFW, to now ZERO 25-man guilds and 6 10-man guilds who have killed a DS raid boss.

Losers: 10 man raiders... 4-5 months to get a single legendary, overtuned heroics (at least in the first couple of tiers), the Nefarion fight in general...

@ Jack.

The first couple of tiers? There have only been three this expansion and the first tier was the one with the most significant difficulty.
