The first group is the people that want easy loot. For them, 1.10 is bad because it is too hard. Granted, it is not helping that most of the people that say it is possible say "I did it with 4 other epic-geared raiding guild players and we used vent, but it should be possible for people in greens and blues". They're misrepresenting the group that this content was designed for, and personally, I don't think content should be designed with voice chat in mind unless the voice chat is integrated.
The second group is the group that wants NEW 5-man content. I am part of this group. Adding in epics for the casual player was one thing, but all they did was send us all back into the same instances everyone has been running since the game came out. It's a band-aid at best. People have been sick of the instances themselves. We need something new.
Right now the problem stems from a lack of foresight on Blizzard's part. They stupidly put 3 raid instances into the pipeline without thinking "Maybe the other groups need content", then they rushed something out when they realized that 90% of the content in a year's patches was raid focused.
It also doesn't help that the "solo and small group friendly" content in Silithus got ninja-changed into small raid quest mobs at some random point. :angry:
