Enrage timer raid design is causing all the problems

Except, most of the time if you hit the enrage, it's because tanks and healers not doing enough DPS.
You know their "secondary" concern

Back in my days of raiding it was normal to be fighting the first boss over and over until you had the gear instead of expecting all 4 fights to be cleared in the first week in 450 gear.

True. But we were also not NEARLY as popular back then as we are now. The player base was far more casual back in the day, and by all accounts, we still have a very large casual player base. I only started doing savage this tier, so I am frankly not all too familiar with it, but if all that is ever required to get past the content is just not dying to mechanics and dps checks, with no other elements added to the fights, I can see that getting pretty boring over the years.
