You seem to be conflating "less people" and "less difficult". While there might be an overall reduction of difficulty (I certainly hope not), that would be an entirely different issue.
The way I see it, they could just as easily make the encounters harder, with more onus on each individual to do his or her job right, something which they have to go easy on at least a little bit with 40 man encounters.
I would be quite disappointed if the game got overall easier, and I've never beated Ragnaros, let alone Nefarian or C'thun. (Been to rags, though. Go go Lurkers/Keepers on Terenas!)
But I think blizzard has been doing a good job of introducing harder and more interesting endgame content so far, and I doubt they're going to stop just because they're dealing with smaller groups.
Or, at least, I think we can safely hope.
