this change was pushed for by the raid designers so that they don't have to consider add-ons like Decursive—which means that we will only get mass-debuff fights if the fight is designed to be monotonous (unlikely, to say the least).

The first decursive was developed to use in encounters in MC. Gehennas, Luciforn, Garr, lavapacks, Sulfuron and Core hounds that all recuire monotonous mass debuffing. The original and very first incarnation of Decursive had absolutely nothing to do with PvP, solo or 5 man content when it was first made about 1 and a half years ago, it was a pure PvE raid tool.

So that strikes me, that according to the quote, Blizzard anticipated decursive type addons when they developed Molten Core to include "mass-debuff type fights which are designed to be monotonous" because there's mods like decursive, that no one has yet done, in the horizon? Can't really decypher it anyway else.

that, or blizzard just had a very limited set of available boss behaviours at the time, and tried to make something challenging with what they had.
