A good change for everybody, and even more for the casuals who only play at specific hours and on specific days.
Instead of losing days of valor reward because you just can't play, you can now play your heart out when you can and still be rewarded with valor for it. Anyone not seeing the benefit for the most casual players needs to revisit his maths.
Bremen_Gaheris: I did Stonecore (arguably one of the most PUG-unfriendly heroic along with Deadmines) this morning with my non-raid geared shaman alt with one guild mate and the rest random PUGs. I was the highest DPS, my guild mate who was also the druid tank was second, so nothing special, your usual slack random PUG with 6k dps (something most were doing almost naked in WotLK), and you doing the double of that, . Yet we completed the dungeon in half an hour.

Very cool, good to hear. I know it was brutal at first for folks or at least they claimed in that it was taking 2 hours sometimes to complete heroics. That is flat out way too long for a dungeon to take. 30-45 minutes is a much better time investment. Thanks for the info Korrigan.

and noone is actually getting hurt which takes away the guilt of watching.
