The thing with Blizz is that people (the top 2%, anyways) cried throughout Ulduar, TotC and Icecrown Citadel that encounters were "easy" (relative term, as my 9-5 wage slave self never cleared all hard modes or anything e-peen worthy), which precipitated the current encounters. Things have been this ugly and melee-unfriendly since the first raid tier in Cataclysm, and sadly, things don't seem to be turning for the better.

That being said, I hope this is more a fluke and that they quickly learn the error of their ways. I don't think people want a repeat of having to sacrifice playing their favorite classes or roles and forced to play something they don't want to pay but makes the encounter "easier".
