Well.  As long as people survive in pve battles (questing, minibosses 
etc) and actually they have a feeling of being overwhelming I guess they 
really dont care much about gear and raids.  So it all depends on how 
the Blizzard crew tunes the pve environment according to gear.
When that is said.  I have stopped following rumors and news about the 
next major patch or expansion years ago anyway.  Its subject to change 
anyway at any time everytime Blizzard digs further down in the ground.

But the scalable raids sounds promising.  I just hope they will do the 
scaling better than in today's flex raids where bosses makes a major 
step up in health and overall damage between 12 and 13 player raids and 
in 18 and 19 player raids.  I guess we will see lots of 12, 18 and 25 
man raids if they dont fix the scaling part which will make the scaling 
more or less obsolete.
The flexible raid sizes will also require lots of players with some 
offspec as it does now if you have an inexperienced or low-geared raid. 
  Boomkin/resto druid, ele/resto shammy and shadow priests/healer 
priests are 3x2 specs that - roughly said - can go with the same set of 
gear no matter the role while dps/tanks still will require 2 sets of 
gear when it comes to monks, warriors, paladins and DKs.  But again. 
Tank roles seems to be revised heavily in WoD so maybe those will only 
need one set of gear for dps/tank roles.  Only blizzard knows. :)
