Walkiry, have you actually participated in 40 man raids? I'm not trying to be insulting, but your request seems to already have been implemented, for the most part.
Kand already mentioned the Ony whelps. Domo has 8 adds, I really don't think that fight needs any more chaos. Garr has 8 adds, one of which ate me last night after stunning his warlock. Someone else then had to jump in as emergency backup tank, and another somebody had to step up as warlock healer. Rag summons his sons. I haven't been to BWL, but I think Razorgore is supposed to be a very complex event, with exploding eggs, mind control, and a lot of orcs.
Drakksaith's adds can be kited by several classes.
Sithilus supposedly will have 40 man raids facing 100's of insects. Zul'gareb supposedly has some very highly scripted encounters.
I think Blizz has show a lot of imagination with the scripted encounters, atleast at the high end. Typically, scripting leads to more specialization of stratagies, not less, when the players try to script their response.
In your example, if the "rogue artifact" was sufficiently powerful, that would probably become THE way to complete that encounter. Only goofy people, the sort who do a 15 hunter UBRS, would try to just kill the thing.
