Nor do I enjoy having to deal with waiting on Skadi {and deal with an extra wave of adds} if I just needed to launch one more harpoon to down him.

It just gets tedious after a while. It doesn't add anything to the challenge, it's just stuff that forces me to sit around and wait.
They nerfed the devourer? I have only done FoS on normal fighting this guy and he is ridiculously easy anyway. I can do the whole normal instance and kill him in only 19-20 mins. I just zerg brohjamn and dont even worry about his shards healing him and basically run around for the devourer encounter. I sometimes wipe if my slaves lag a bit and get caught in the wailing souls beam attack but other than that my god the instance is a joke and they made it easier...are you kidding me. I logged on about a month ago to check out the new stuff and saw they changed the emblem system around allowing you to get nice items for doing the same lame ass dungeons over and over again. I recently got the acheve for looting 1000 emblems on my tank and my other chars are not far behind. I have all the new triumph gear you can buy with emblems now and just started running the normal icc 5 mans for basically epic gear that is easier to get than anything in the old 5 man heroics. I admit it is hard to determine encounters where you are not just given the kill once you know the right strat it does become pointless which begs the question if you can do it once why should you have to keep doing it for any item thereafter if you are tagged with a win on that boss hell just go to a vendor and buy any of his drops! WoW is fast becoming a game where obtaining better gear,which is the whole point of the game, is getting to be so trivial its not even worth playing anymore. If blizz wants to nerf all the instances so even the dumbest person in the worst group can kill anything they are eventually going to turn a lot of people off by doing this. I don't like playing with kids hence the reason I multibox. I don't need to hear the whining and stupid shit that kids say so I will never raid again and will only 5 man. MY only suggestion would be to make hard modes on 5 man stuff that drop the same crap as the 25 man instances so people like myself have a reason to go through all that contenet to get the best gear and be able to have enough damage to progress to the hard modes to obtain end game gear but I sure as hell wont do it with 24 other people.
