The problem with BC's raiding was that Vashj and Kael were far too difficult to begin with, and Hyjal and BT were not nearly hard enough compared. Vashj and Kael were harder than half of the bosses in BT and Hyjal! Since you originally and for a LONG time had to kill Vashj and Kael to even STEP FOOT into Hyjal and BT, that represented a HUGE difference between a guild who downed Kael and one who didn't. The guild who did would be riding to glory with mountains of easy T6 epics. The guild who didn't would be sporting relative garbage for a year to come.
They basically had no completely entry-level 25 man raid in BC. I suppose their answer now is to allow people to stick with their 10 man squads, which is fine with me, seeing as I don't have to box 25 to see what the content looks like. Although, I'm sure 25-man stuff will be cooler in terms of boss ability design.
And of course, I'd like to see raiding content have a real sloped progression where the end stuff is hard as hell, but it gradually gets there. And I'm not a person who's struggled with raid content. I did get to Illidan months ago.
Raiding is too easy right now, but it's okay because many of these raids have been out for 2 years, and all the gear is going to be water under the bridge in a month anyway.
