For it to be an e sport everyone would have to be able to choose whatever gear they want to use, first of all.
Never, ever. Raiding is boring to watch. How many people watch raids? Almost none, and most of that is just to see who's going to first close the content at the very start of the season - after that, viewer numbers fall down to the seafloor and lay there. Heck, in fact, raiding is boring to even *play* - take away rewards and the number of raiders will likely drop at least 10x.
Raids are never going to be good for e-sport.

While we are on this, neither arenas nor rated BGs are good enough for e-sport either. Many, many, many reasons.
