As to the rest of your point, sure, if you only need a few hundred duty roulette is the way to go. If you need, say, a few thousand, you've always been better off farming a dungeon.
No, that's absolutely right about sac pulling but the thing about CM was that it gave 100 philosophy when AK only gave 50. A good CM group could complete the dungeon in 10-15 minutes, the same amount of time that a good AK run would take. WP was argueably better because a good speed run took around 7-10 minutes. The demon wall was also a major barrier for a lot of players back at launch mainly due to the adds and people getting knocked off while trying to deal with them.
