Update: my 10 man group just beat Yogg. It's not a bad fight but not too hard on 10.
It's not a gear thing. Entire fight elements are missing from 10 man versions in order to make them easier. Moreover, many of the remaining mechanics punish you for not spreading out or for having too many people close together, and the rooms are the same size on 10 or 25. That means 10 man groups can often counter these abilities without even trying, whereas 25 man groups take multiple casualties and can potentially fail the enrage timer.
Quote:Is 10 man easier than 25 man if you only have 10 man gear? I realize you probably can't answer this. I'm aware that 400 DPS more on the 6 or 7 DPS folks in a 10 man group that has 25 man gear is hard to mentally just throw out.
