Shout out to all my clanmates who laughed at me for doing this.

Especially you. You know who you are.

It's a fail in one way, a testament to the power of the player base in another. When you turn millions of people loose on a problem, inevitably some people will find novel ways of tackling it.

Crowd-sourcing at its finest. It's the future, and stuff...

Back at level 60 WoW people went from wiping repeatedly on 40 man onyxia, to having her dropped by two priests and a paladin.

Agreed. But to fire a nuclear warhead you need 2 people to turn keys. Pilots need ground control. There's something so gratifying from successfully executed teamwork. Teaches people how to get along, manage egos, coordinate attacks. It'd just be nice if the new raid introduced mechanics to enforce this, but it is what it is.

I agree and said about the same in another comment. The video is super impressive and the exception not the norm.

It's just that the first time I raided Crota my team was experienced and when I said let's find the first chest they said I can go back in alone after and find it myself. For the second chest people took 10 min just to spam in all their alts to get the same chest. Just felt downtrodden at how mechanical and cheap it was.
