Rotating people through only goes so far in solving that problem.

This has seemed the case to me as well. It's like we need 1-2 spare of each class to cover social obligations/internet outages/etc., but that means having 10 or so people sitting on the bench every night. This "bench player" pool is around the same size we had to carry for Naxx, and really just means that each player gets to raid a lower percentage of the time, because the ratio of raid spots to subs has gone way down.
