Perhaps I should have added more detail that PuG raiding took a dive in 4.3 despite DS being easier than FL. You seem like you are on some righteous crusade and in a need to shove your opinion in other players face as if you are some all seeing god that speaks for all players. I find LFR to be far more stressful than running a PuG raid in Cata. The current LFR queue and clear times are longer than it was for me to run a PuG raid which is also a turn off to go from 1.5 hours a week of PuG raiding to about the 10 hours a week by LFR. Now if I wanted to comit myself to a guild then I would be doing normal mode raiding again and it would be my choice. The increased difficulty of normals going into MoP was the result of having LFR as a fallback. If there was no LFR then the developers would have not had that fall back thinking that any players who couldnt cut normals would be happy with LFR. The introduction of Flex shows that Blizzards choice to bump the difficulty was a mistake.
