I loved the cata dungeons, but they were tuned too hard for queueing into with randoms. I did all the heroic dungeon achievements for the mount the first week or so of the expansion. As much as I would personally enjoy more challenging dungeon content, the experiences I've had in duty finder makes me think they're as difficult as they can be while still being able to consistently be cleared.
