They did this in level 70 epics, so a huge gear increase would almost force them to follow the 5 man>heroic 5 man> raid, chain we've all gotten used too.

That's my two cents anyways.
That is more of a reflection on the content that wrath was released with, I also remember clearing naxx 25 in two days with most of the people still wearing quest and sunwell gear.
