When we beat the Council enrage by 3 minutes, or Kologorn's arm dies before he can grip one person... I don't think that's 13 item levels of gear doing our job.

[...]

One other thing is that healer gear is largely a non-factor for the 10-man fights I listed - and on 10-man, the raid damage is low enough that even undergeared healers can easily keep people alive through it.

13 ilvls of gear across slots is quite a bit, especially in the DPS department. Nobody is arguing that 10-man modes are impossible, or unbeatable without 25-man gear. But if you walk in there overgeared, and say "wow was that easy," that conclusion may not hold up if you didn't have the gear. It might not be a loss, but it might also be a lot closer to the wire.
