If you're in an average raiding guild (as in probably top 10000 or so) you most likely get into some heroics every tier, but you won't be fighting the heroic only end boss for a long time. When you do, do you really expect to need 30 attempts per week? Let's say each attempt lasts 4 minutes, plus 4-5 minutes of reset time to get back, buff up, talk strategy and pull again. At that point, you're going to get maybe 5-6 attempts an hour. Unless you're planning on working on the same boss for 6+ hours per week, this isn't ever going to affect you.
If you're in a competitive world first guild, it just adds an extra element of competition. You can't just keep throwing bodies at the boss until it dies. You actually have to put some thought into attempts to get the most out of them.
Ultimately, I like the idea of a heroic only boss with limitted attempts per week. It just adds an exta element to hardcore raiding without really doing something that impacts the average raider in a negative way.
