10mans:
too unforgiving. if everyone is average skill, just 1 person not performing can wipe the group.
vent is not as entertaining.
melee has a hard time finding a roster or pug spot.
can create "bring the class not the player" situations (healing cd's, burst dps, aoe dps, buffs...etc).
is logistically easier for leadership to manage.
25mans:
too forgiving. you can have a couple brain-deads and a few scrubs and still beat most encounters.
vent is lively.
good balance of melee and range dps, but also more competition.
is harder logistically for leadership to manage.
15mans:
2x tanks, 4x healers, 9x dps (4 melee, 5 range). a pretty good mix i'd say; especially heals and dps. melee shouldn't be shafted as much either.
frees up resources at blizz since they would only have to focus on one raid size.
shouldn't be much harder to manage logistically than 10's and tons more easier than 25's.
only going off on pvp size for AB, EotS and SSM (15man BGs) the feel is a lot more epic than 10mans.
