The concern is that it reduces people's desire to do new content, since it doesn't give better loot: at best, it gives equal caliber loot more quickly, and that's once you have the place on farm; wipe nights give much less loot at much more cost. Witness how many people continue to run Karazhan every week for badges; even if BT gave 3 times the badges it did now, it wouldn't be much better in terms of badges/hour than Karazhan, and that's if you discount the repair gold/consumables/wipe nights you needed to get through the instance. (Yes, of course you can run both, but if you're capable of running both you're probably running BT most weeks anyway.)
If each instance had a different "badge" type, or if you had a "boss token" type system, you'd have more of an incentive to go to the new instances, while removing RNG effects (a discussion I'll stay out of).
