Long story short here, it appears the ones who will be using extra pots, are the healers who mash the mass heal button while shouting "HURP DERP" over voicechat.
If you actually watch healthbars and rotate through the healers its no real difference, just takes longer. Unless you have stuff all DPS, then you are fucked.
Partly true. In groups where everyone has a solid build and reasonable quest knowledge, resource usage will be low.
In groups where gimps are welcome (Either newish players or even experienced players sneaking in on their undergeared 5th alt) and the overall DPS is low making the beatdown longer, then some pots might have to be chugged.
We'll all get used to this, just that group selection will be a bit more picky at endgame raids now.
It wil effect most people with not many having every single alt geared to the gills and able to contribute in a meaningful way in endgame raiding.
We'll probably see a lot more Micromanagment from Raid leaders also (At least those that complete with the minimum amount of hassle).
