Because many don't give a shit about sitting on top of a world that doesn't exist ?

Many do.

Nice for them, just don't count on me to admire that.

Difficulty of raiding is overrated. My small guild doesn't raid that often and when we do, we often PuG to fill up our 10 man. And with only a few tries we've made it to the end boss of each raid. Often watching videos for the strat just before pull.
This is my warlock:

She got geared quickly and easily, considering the number of times she stepped in a raid instance. No, she did not get carried, often being at the top of the dps chart or atleast top 3.
But with them destroying locks viability in PvP, I've given up on WoW. I play on a PvP server and when I can hardly survive 1v1 from just doing dailies, that's a huge chunk of my time removed from my time on WoW. Just logging in to do a Heroic daily, doesn't cut it, especially since I won't be needing it soon. I've even lost interest in logging in to do just the raids. Realizing, what is the point when I'm never on other than that anyways?
Rift couldn't have come at a better time ;) My WoW account has been canceled.

Most raid leaders aren't as "skilled" as you may think because they're just trying different strategy's from wowwiki or whatever else.
Theorycrafters "figure out rotations" on the PTR long before it even it comes out, then they just post the information on websites like Elitist Jerks. Sure it tells you everything that you need to perform well, but does it mean a person will? Try playing a fire mage; there's no rotation, just priority list and there's a endless amount of things that you could change due to proc's, amount of mana, amount of adds out, etc. It's not as simple as you may think...

Those that spend time, gold, effort and lots of theorycrafting and nail down their rotations are the skilled players. That you can identify from people who fuck up, don't do the numbers people look for (threat, dps, healing) and pop CDs at the correct time.
There are a lot of fail raid leaders out there. I wouldn't depend on "one" person to raid lead the entire pack. I'd depend on several officers plus a raid leader. That's extra minds put into it rather than a single mind.
