I agree that people are significantly more skilled. However, the rate at which the encounters have gotten more complex and harder has vastly surpassed the rate at which people improve. For example, most heroic modes in Wrath were already outside the reach of the majority of the gaming population. Heroic modes in Cata are absolutely outside the reach of the majority (until massive nerfs).
If they make anything more complex than what we have now (consider that 13 guilds worldwide killed Heroic Ragnaros before the nerf), nobody but the best of the best will ever kill anything.
