In my opinion, what they should do for the next expansion is similar to what they are doing with scenarios and flex. Place the difficult content to a premade group only.
Gearing for the first teir should go like this:
1. Questing, limited normal dungeons for 90-94.
2. Open up rest, and majority of normal dungeons at 95.
3. At a certain ilvl, heroics open up. Heroics are fairly difficult, require CC and communication; thus can only be formed by a pre-made group and not LFD. Heroic Loot should be only a half-teir less than LFR, not an entire teir less. End bosses should drop LFR quality gear.
4. LFR
5. Flex.
6. Normal.
7. Heroic Raids.
