Why "Super Savage" is a good thing...

I doubt the raiding scene today is only 1% of the playerbase anymore.

I have to agree. Clear rates of savage raids in HW were aomething like 5% weren't they, depending on the raid tier and servers. Coil was a bit better, but it's safe to say that the real raiding population is probably a bit higher than 5%. That said, I'd agree that it's casual players who play consistently between patches because we (self confessed filthy casual speaking) tend to consume more of the game in total and at a more measured pace. I'm not sure of the PVP engagement numbers, but I would think they are similar to raiding with some degree of overlap. The truth is, the world has changed, modern MMORPG players are more casual than not, and games have to cater to their audience. For more hardcore players, that cold be a tough reality to face.
