Sure there might be some really strange raiding guilds out there that dont use things like world of logs and wowprogress, but they are pretty rare, so why judging general tendencies based on exceptions?
Honestly, for me this just looks like a commercial decision. Blizzard doesn't usually dish out un-necessary new content, they are more known for reshashing/reusing stuff. The only significant segment of players that will gain a lot from this are the LFR players - that are done and over-done with the content they can run. I assume they make a large part of the subs, so they need to be fed a new LFR tier, since normal/hc raiders always have something to progress on (unless they are in the 1% in the world that are done). Coupled with the sales for the wow games collection, it makes sense that end semester numbers need to be boosted. It's got nothing to do with keeping promises, they promised they will never make content for 1% of the player base again, and many other things.
