Add to CoTF T2 and or TDS raid drop table. Create new loot table inclusive to the current drop table so that perhaps 1 item is added to the possible dropped items. Create some copy and paste raids or not overly complex (PoP era) type raids. This would take more time but would also give some more raids to the very small number of current raids to chew throw every week. Add all the items to a vendor. You could perhaps use CoTF T2 currency and or TDS raid currency.

Everything which doesn't change removed.
I think Deepfathom is also non-prestige. First expansion without a set of non-prestige raid gear. IDK it seems like it should be added in some fashion. Ideally some more raid events for these items would be best i think. Simple Tank spank, AE, ADD PoTime type raids.
I think all raid gear SHOULD be prestige. If you're commited to raiding, it's about time you pay for a sub. I don't see any grey area there. -Rat

Make "mini raids" same zone same raids but dumbed down for 24 people. Put the t1 gear on that loot table. Helps out the guilds who have less people.
Good lord, I'm agreeing with something you posted. Something's not right today! Seriously though, it'd be great for raiding in general to have some "entry" type raids for new guilds or smaller guilds or filler, just like ToV was.
You're being another Ideas Guy, thinking the developers aren't adding in those raids because they didn't have any idea where to put them. That isn't the case.
It was originally around in beta but when they realized they didn't have enough content to justify two tiers of raid gear (in only 7 raids lulz) it got scrapped. That makes sense to me... never understood why people thought they should be able to take advantage of raid gear for free.
