I've been a long term proponent of 'small groups need endgame too'. Even from that perspective, I'm not sure I'd agree with giving the same items to groups of both sizes; a large group is going to take longer to organise, longer to assemble and longer to learn fights so deserves to get something for the extra effort. Proportionately more same quality drops wouldn't be enough.
It is good that the gap is narrowing to a single tier (roughly half what it is now, itself a vast improvement on the original release) and more importantly there will be regular new content. There wasn't a whole lot new for a small group player in the three years between Dire Maul and the expansion; I'm glad that won't happen again. I do expect 25 man players to think of each new 10 man as fairly trivial. Of course it will be; they'll be in gear a tier too high for it.
