As for the difficulty, I guess it was too much expecting hard mode to be like SCoB(Savage), but I was hoping it would be harder than current coil though... But the reason they could make that one harder, I thought was because they were adding normal mode, which could keep players busy for a while at least, and help medium core players gear appropriately before entering Hard mode. It could also work as a stepping stone for players that haven't gotten into raiding before, or are new to the game.

We already have the CTs now, and the new one in heavensward for the casuals... what was needed was a stepping stone between the highest level raid and "CT", not another CT level raid. So I really hope there is some challenge to it
Keep in mind that what is now called Mythic in WoW was Heroic before, they added Mythic as a new difficulty level in Warlords of Draenor IIRC.
