I don't think that they are against multi-boxing. I think that they were more concerned with how simple the game had become. Did anyone really have fun while AOE'ing their way through 15-minute heroics? At one point I figured that the fact that multiboxers were running heroics and even raids might have made Blizzard feel that the game was too easy, but I still don't think that it happens enough to bother them. I just think that they were worried at how simple things had gotten because they allowed players to gain so much power.
I'm way too lazy and unfocused to get very far in dungeons as a boxer, but I will level my fair share of teams via outdoors quests five at a time, and will definitely run characters through dungeons for loot and experience (based on what I'm seeing in terms of health pools and DPS, level 85s will be able to solo clear pretty much every normal WotLK dungeon). And I expect that the folks here who regularly clear 5-man heroics and 10-man raids will find ways to do that in Cataclysm. I don't think Blizzard will stop multiboxing, but it might become more of a challenge as they seek to make single-character play less boring.
