I very much miss ARR style pulls where you could just pull the entire set of mobs before the first boss if your tank and healer were skilled enough. It was something of a difficulty slider within the content itself; want to actually stress the tank/healer kits? Pull everything, it's possible with skill. Can't quite do it? Pull only a couple of groups at a time, you'll clear eventually. It was the best way I think to make dungeons both difficult and accessible without having to dedicate entirely different difficulties. I get why it's not there anymore, but that option to have something accessible or something difficult in the same piece of content hasn't been replicated all that well since outside a handful of big pulls. Mt Gulg is the closest we've had since then.

One thing I'd like is for them to mix up the dungeons a little and let us fight the bosses in any order we want, or take a page from variant dungeons and let us alter the bosses based on things we did just before. We don't need to have the large variety of different outcomes that variant offers, but things like "do this puzzle and the boss becomes easier, don't and you have extra mechanics to face" would be another way to spice up dungeon runs. Could even offer extra rewards for doing the harder version like a second chest, or a unique glamour or minion.

I don't see it happening since we'll largely get the "standard run" variant that everyone expects you to know, but it'd be nice to have a little more variety in the standard dungeons. I don't care for the multiple endings of variants, but at least some changes to standard dungeon runs themselves would be nice.
