I'm against respawns in instances completely. I don't see them as added challenge - I see them as added aggravation. And since Blizzard is fondling themselves over the idea of instanced areas, I don't see a shift in the preferred way to grind levels and get uber loot.
It's not a major deal if it's a wipe, because your entire group will be there to help with the respawns, but if your (only) priest dies at the very end of the instance, you get to go ALL the way to the beginning, killing all the respawns along the way, and then you get to kill the stuff that respawned while you were going back to the front <_<
EDIT: It'd also be nice to be able to feel completely, totally safe if someone has to go AFK mid-instance because of Real Life issues. Perhaps they ate something that's disagreeing with them, or maybe someone broke something while changing a light fixture, or some other stupid Real Life something that happens to pop up from time to time. I can only see the point of having respawns of ANY kind being to allow farming without having to reset the instance, and given the Soulbound system, you'd think Blizzard would be AGAINST farming.
