People should learn their characters in the content that is offered at a reduced difficulty before entering the higher tier content. Instead of wanting higher content nerfed so they can skip "because they just want gear for raids" to then go wreck THOSE instances by not knowing their character, they could actually run the non-heroic versions and learn their roles in those. Someone should not be immediately pugging level 85 heroics out the gate. The game blocks it to an extent, but the very fact that it allows what you are suggesting of being able to carry someone to gear causes the problem you are complaining about - people are get carried to points that they no longer know how to play their characters, but are able to get into the groups regardless and blame others for the fact, because "they have the gear to prove they know what they are doing".

EDIT: To restate this - there is content there at reduced difficulty FOR level 85 characters. The gear isn't as good, but that's something people have to get over. You are not getting the max reward for doing the content you aren't ready for absolutely free. They've made a lot of changes in this game to help lower level characters. You are asking that every time they put out a new boss or instance, there be a set of instructions and circles on the ground explaining the most efficient way to do every fight so that there's no "annoying wiping" figuring things out. That's a part of the game that a lot of people enjoy. Figuring out the content.
