The 1 hour time limit in the instances causes people to be stressed out about finishing fast enough and thus rush through everything. Remove that limit and dungeons could be however large you wanted, as well as instanced.
Instanced and timers are two separate features; even if the timers were removed from the current instanced dungeons, it's still nice to have open places like this that aren't instanced cause they provide a different feel and experience from instanced dungeons that are closed off from the rest of the world.
