A big part of it is the fact that trash actually have dangerous abilities now, rather than just random melee/basic spells. When you have trash that can mortal strike your tank, reduce his armor by half, and buff each other's damage, it can cause a world of hurt for your tanks. It's not unusual now for tanks to have to shield wall and last stand on larger trash pulls. The solution is to either CC and single target them down, or use cds and burn the mobs down before they gib your tank/the healer goes oom.

It's already starting to get better though. Now with our group in mostly 346 heroic blues and a few 359 epics, we're starting to roll through heroics a lot easier. We only CC a few choice packs per instance now, but we also have a very well geared tank. He has something like 7 epics already and 170k hp raid buffed.
