I actually really like that there is flexibility between classes and that roles within Raids are important. I personally don't like getting into the DPS competition, but really like the Golgoroth fight because it lets me pull aggro and fulfill a non-DPS role. And with the folks I raid with, I can do that same role on any of my classes.

Relics in VoG and CE had a similar effect, though in all but a single encounter that is one of six fireteam members. Add in one for adds and you have four doing DPS. I'm fine with that sort of spread, personally, but do think more encounters should require roles. Court of Oryx brings a little of that in, but not much because it's expected to have to deal with randoms. The number of times I've watched someone sword the mechanic shield knights away from each other (while the shields are up) is disappointing. But with communicating people that fight is easy.
