It boils down to people being impatient and wanting things now and not wanting to work for them.

Being able to work on content more slowly is the reason why people are asking for the option to have more control over reset timers (specifically, the ability to choose not to reset a raid when the timer rolls around).

I read a post that talked about raid leader controlled reset timers. While at first glace this may seem like a good idea, it really would in my opinion significantly increase the speed at which content was cleared (gear and resist check fights aside).

BT / Hyjal each zone can be cleared in one night. So in theory, if your guild only raided 2 nights per week, which easily falls into the category of casual you could clear all end-game content every reset. Of course, only raiding 2 nights per week it will take you longer to get to the one night clears but it can be done.

You make two assertions here that, as far as I can tell, are totally unrelated. Neither of them make much sense.
Are you saying it would increase the rate at which content is cleared because guilds have more time to learn bosses without having to re-clear previous bosses every week? This is the only thing I can get out of this statement, but I could be wrong, because you don't clarify at all. And obviously, the tradeoff here would be less loot per week, which seems quite reasonable. The one-week reset timer makes sense as a restraint of item acquisition, but is totally arbitrary as a means of enforcing a maximum time to work on content. Just an unnecessary obstacle that may have arisen out of technological limitations.
Your assertion that casual guilds should be able to farm Illidan and Archimonde on two nights a week seems like random nonsense, so I'm not going to dwell on it.

I guess in my perfect wow world nerfs would only happen when content needs to be balanced for the sake of making it possible. Attunements, while annoying at times, are fine. And Blizzard could focus more on bringing out new content instead of balancing the old content for impatient players.

Are you seriously suggesting that making minor tweaks to old content involves anywhere NEAR the time investment of creating a new raid instance?
