I just cannot imagine how the change is a bad thing. It all looks weird and scary now, but the bottom line is that raid stacking to min/max is not fun and not productive. My guild (Drama-Korgath, US) went through nearly 60 (!!!) people trying to clear sunwell, and we had weeks where progression essentially halted because we were down a shaman or a shadow priest or a protection paladin.
It's nothing but a hassle to try to put together "ideal" raids for Sunwell. It's not fun, it's wrecked or halted the progression of a lot of guilds. I think this is a fantastic change for promoting more fun, more player skill and more flexibility. I don't think it's going to end up hurting or burdening any classes in the long run after they get everything put together and polished for raiding at 80.
