The one they did, Rath EX, they completely randomized the mobs actions, and had a second phase where healing and tanking didn't matter as much. The story mode trials are what teaches you to play harder 8 man content, not the 4 mans.
OK, we are talking about two different things now. Mechanically you may be correct, but only for one person. Its not about margin of error, its about lumping all the responsibility onto one healer. The best setup for accessible learning would be 5 man content (1 tank, 2 DPS, 2 heal). This would eliminate healer burden, and keep the social setting managable for learning.
