If the goal was to prevent poopsocking, I don't really see this changing much. The problem isn't that 100+ players are waiting ingame for a boss to spawn, it's that everyone has 2-3+ characters sitting at every target. When VS spawns, there are usually only 5-10 people ingame. Within 5 minutes, there will easily be 80-100+.
Just like Kunark was a temporary solution to the content problems in Classic, Velious will only be a bandaid. I would have to imagine that a lot of players will come back for Velious and there will be more raiding guilds than there are now.
