If this old player (hint: All my kids were born before Vanilla launched) can easily hit 90%+ performance in Retail, it can't be that hard pulling off the rotation and reacting correctly to the mechanics.
TBH, the problem with Retail is whole 4 tiers of raiding the exact same raid over and over and over and over and over and over and over again...occasionally pushing the difficulty slider up. By the time most guilds clear Normal, Heroic is dirt simple (ooooh, they added a whole extra mechanic to some of the bosses) and the raid becomes so incredibly boring that most people quit because there is nothing else to do. Either do the raid for the 25th time doing exactly the same thing you were doing at the beginning, or do M+ for the 200th time to beat the arbitrary timer. All to get the same gear I already had, but the magic number on it is higher. Wheeeeeeee! /eyeroll
