How about we change the "dps check" a little?

Casuals gain another tier of content they can at take a casual run at, and hardcores still have their entire challenge and reward system completely in tact.

I used to do a ton of PvP in HW.
Casuals have already had PvP ruined for hardcore players, so that they could play it too.
I don't want raiding to get the same treatment. Casuals would applaud it, and say its great, but you'll seriously alienate the more hardcore players. Most of my PvP FC mates stopped playing after the PvP changes in SB. You'll see the same with the raiding community if they accommodate to Casuals, rather than the people who actually enjoy difficult content.
