If ignorance were painful, half the posters here would be on morphine drips.
Everyone playing WoW knows everything about playing two classes: 1) their own and 2) Hunters

To be fair, I'm making a blanket statement based on totally anecdotal evidence in a small (say, 20-25) heroic runs in a group that works well together, but when the group has a majority of 346 gear and knows what they're doing, I haven't seen many pulls that even need it anymore. *shrug* YMMV.

And antithesis to the fun time framework Blizzard built up prior. Forcing the majority population (casuals) to dump even more time into the game fostering strong virtual friendships to advance at a reasonable pace, and further feel rewarded? Ghostcrawler really screwed the pooch here.

Yep, forced grouping again, in a different form/flavor.

Hardly. Tank with full 346 and a healer that knows how to spam heals without running OOM pretty much negates all need for CC, and not a "group that works well together" just need not-retarded people. Shocking I know.
