Based on everything that has been said for the past several months about how bad SSC and TK were due to lack of testing, how Gruul and Mag were mistuned etc., I think it is safe to say having vastly better tuned encounters at the expense of Nihilium getting Tier 6 early is worth it. Especially now that PvP Gear is better for PvP then PvE gear, there is no disadvantage to the guilds that are a tier behind Nihilium, since content is instanced.
Basically the early TBC content was tuned for the very best, using full consumables etc, with the same 25 every night, while there are 5-10 guilds that can do that, most can't and don't really want to, and as a result just said "no thanks" to a lot of the raid instances pre-2.1. Now that they retuned the encounters and the future ones... yeah they are easy for a guild like Nihilium, but for the rest of us... not so much. I would rather have content that is doable with practice, proper execution and reasonable consumables then have it tuned to be a challenge for 5-10 guilds and impossible for the other 100,000 guilds out there.
All-in-all I would rather have a realistic shot at clearing BT before the expansion, then have Blizzard cock-block the instance to keep everyone closer together... will Curse/Nihilium/D&T clear BT by the end of summer... probably... will more then 2-3 guilds on most servers clear it before the fall... probably not.
