And this is exactly what I think Blizzards plan is. Play ad nauseum to get the gear for the hardcore so that they can move on to the next challenge. At this point casuals will be getting up to get the gear and they'll have a few hardcore sprinkled in with them to help making the encounters more trivial. The hardcore will still attempt the new content while "under geared" and still get the challenges of that but will be able to go back and get the gear they need pretty easily. If itemization is character progression this is about the only way to do it without turning all the content into a joke very rapidly.
