Every 25-person raider is going to do the 10-person version at least once ("experience it from another angle"). Items like the DST don't make you go experience the content, they make you (if you want to maximize your character) farm it. Until the RNG spins your way.

If it was just a case of "Take nine friends and do something a bit different" I don't think anyone would be worried.

In this case; I don't think it'll be so ideal. In a DST scenario, there really is very limited incentive for those 9 other people to get dragged along. Let's just say (for example) DST dropped off... Vashj, for theory's sake. Whilst it may very well be quite easy for a Tier 6 kitted guild to go back and clear (pre-2.4) SSC, there really isn't a great deal of reason aside from "Hey, let's get BillyTheRogue his DST." Especially if it doesn't drop, week after week. For this reason, I really hope they do follow the recommended path of having such "game-breaking" items available from a rep/badge vendor. We also need to consider that with consolidated loot tables, our chances of seeing such items would increase.

I'd like to be of positive mind and feel confident in their ability to distribute loot appropriately, but given the trend... I really can't help but remain skeptical.

2 years ago we were clearing AQ and progressing in Naxx, whilst us Rogues were screaming for a weekly BWL run so we could get a DFT. Here we are today clearing BT and progressing in Sunwell, and the rogues are screaming for a Gruul's run so they can get a DST.
