Casual vs mid-core vs hardcore : Shiva Ex was mid-core, Titan Ex was hardcore. Last levels of Coils were hardcore. Normal 8 players raid is mid-core.

Alliance is mid-core. It turns casual (and faceroll in the end) when overgeared.
You don't need a static to clear any EX comfortably. You just need the majority of the party to be at least half way paying attention and to know what abilities do. Its simply not something that you should expect a bunch of randoms to carry you through easily. Its still casual content. Just the higher end of it where players need to pull their own weight.
