Beyond what was mention here, Blizzard really messed up the amount of XP players get in raids. Hardcore guilds that had access to the beta quickly found out that players would get equivalent party XP when 10-man raiding 5-man instances like Scarlet Monastery and Zul'Farrak. So 10 people could come in and AoE down the entire instance in minutes and get a ton of experience with no raid penalty. In original vanilla, raid XP was virtually nil.
They fixed it 2 days ago, but the damage has been done.
Additionally, layering has allowed mages to have no down time when AoE grinding. When they clear an area, they simply swap to a new layer where all mobs are still alive.
Really unfortunate.
