I don't think gear is the ultimate stopgap you're making it out to be. Even the most geared player will get eaten alive without the proper skill set and play style. On the flip side, a good player who never gets hit will eventually take down any boss regardless of gear.
And please, please, please - don't let this become another game full of elitists who shit all over casuals like they have no right to play the game. It was one of the more disgusting facets of WoW and I'm surprised people are already saying it in a game that's been out for two freaking weeks.

But... gear IS that important actually. "a good player who never gets hit will eventually take down any boss regardless of gear." I don't think this is true at all. A simple example would be Inferno Butcher, with the enrage timer + unavoidable Multiple Hooks
