I think he thinks he is coming across as "down to earth", or "honest" or "straight forward". However that is not the impression we are all getting. Don't get me wrong I don't want some politically correct patronizing bastard either but well, there it is.
I can also admit though that the MMO community is a very hard lot to please. We tend to over think, and over analyse every little aspect of the game. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it must certainly be a challenge.

WoW players are THE most dramatic players I have been around. Mountains out of mole hills at every turn! 
Ah well..

Ah well..
Agree with both. And we're actually a lot less dramatic here on the VN than the official forums used to be. On the other hand, we're used to it.

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.

And his comments about the official boards (Healer board specifically I bet) just validates all the complaints. Why even acknowledge and belittle the posters claiming problems if they are a non-issue and small minority of complainers?
That is exactly what gave him away. He is concerned, and he's pretty pissed that he is forced to be concerned because players are not responding like he wanted them to.
His boss is breathing down his neck due to what he is seeing from exit surveys on canceled subscriptions and GC is having to explain himself.

yup, the response is almost identical to the banter they gave when they were trying to force the real id thing on people and claiming it was non intrusive {which in its original packaging was a bold faced lie)

I can just picture GC after he is done rightiing out his long winded response, he clicked the submit button then slams his hand on his desk saying, "JUST PLAY THE WAY I WANT YOU TO PLAY DAMMIT!"
Then he logs on his dps warrior.

Can't someone just ban this asshole already.
Problem is, if they ban me, to be fair, they'd have to ban you and a few others too for regular trolling and baiting first.
Seems to me that you can't take it when someone serves you your own medicine.
First you guys are like "zomg Korrigan you won't stop me from posting lololol!" and then you want me to be banned... do what I say, not what I do, heh? Pot calling the kettle black?
This becomes more funny every day 
Holy crap, you really have no self awareness whatsoever, do you? This really does get funnier every day.
Or more fun!

Design based on how your customers will use the product, not based on how you would like them to use the product.
I must be missing something here because this last line got me. I did read your whole post, however I feel this 'is' how we use the product. You gear up, go do dungeons, in time they go by quicker. It's the same model as the rest of the expansions; which is what people have been trying to point out.
Does it suck, for some yes. However if you stick with it you'll eventually run a pug with a group that outstrips the gear requirement for the heroic and they'll carry you. It will happen. You may not like it but it will. Unless you never LFD I think we've all hit a point where we were carried at some point.
That line was basically a long winded way of saying the same thing Syrus said above: GC should just cut through the BS and say "JUST PLAY THE WAY I WANT YOU TO PLAY DAMMIT!"
-Join a guild.
-Do the quests in the order we tell you to so you can enjoy properly our new phasing technology!
-Heal in the correct manner, you've been doing it wrong for a while now.
-And last but not least, an SAT-like word association: "FUN" is to "FRUSTRATION" as "CHALLENGE" is to "TEDIOUS".
