I hate talents like these in games, not just wow. A 1-2% increase in literally anything, is incredibly boring and feels like talent tree bloat. Would 10 out of 10 times rather have a "fun" / cosmetic talent versus a microscopic stat increase

Delves as a group are so much easier that it's almost ridiculous to consider them solo content
I managed to clear a T8 on my 580 ilvl evoker, so I don't think it's an issue of them being tuned too hard solo. Each pull took planning, and overpulling had consequences. It was a well designed experience, and took about a half hour. I then struggled with a different t8 and grouped up for it. We facerolled through in 5 minutes and nobody was ever in any danger.
With the current balance, calling delves solo content is like calling dungeons solo content because if you really wanted to, you could go super slow and pull one mob at a time and eventually clear the dungeon. The mobs don't even seem to scale linearly. If you have 4 extra people in your group the mobs don't have 4x as much health, it's a bit over 2x. Which is crazy, because in order to counteract the benefit of the extra people they should scale exponentially.
I really feel like the optimal way to play delves should be solo, and let groups do it for friends who really want to play together, but it should be substantially more difficult than the solo option, and probably with slightly worse rewards.
Anybody else unhappy with the current implementation?

Mythic Dungeon Copy/Paste Instructions from PUG Tank
I am a PUG tank that likes to run smooth groups so created a document that I use to copy/paste instructions for the group as we go. All of these instructions are from the perspective of a tank that otherwise knows the mechanics, which means there's a lot of particular mechanics missing from the instructions. But if you are PUG tanking mythics, you can use these copy/paste to get smoother runs from your group.
-------------
City of Threads =======================
Orator Krix'vizk
(1) Stay in circle or die. (2) When boss hits 100 energy, they will drop shit on the floor. Stack on tank and move together or die.
Eyes of the Queen
There are 4 quadrants. Center, Left, Forward, Right. Center is right in front of us, then we will go left, then forward, and finally right, which takes us near the NPC that takes us to the boss. That is the most efficient path.
Additional info: There are a total of 10 hiding spots: 1 at the start, 3 in each other sector.
Fangs of the Queen
(1) Run out of purple circles or die. (2) Avoid anything that looks like a line or die. (3) In Phase 2 do not stand with anyone if you have the purple circle or they die. (4) In Phase 2 stand with Tank when they get the big white circle or they die. (5) Good luck healer.
The Conglomeration
When boss slams the ground and knocks you back, run around and absorb 2-3 black orbs.
Izo, the Grand Splicer
Do your best to avoid the orbs on the ground. They will project where they will go.
----
The Stonevault =======================
E.D.N.A.
Clear a few spikes at a time with the boss's arrow attack. If all spikes break at same time, we all die. Don't stack.
Master Machines
(1) Stay out of the Giant Cube lane. (2) Hang out near clear corner. (3) You can mostly stay with tank. (4) Start by targeting the small guy.
(5) Keep him interrupted ALL FIGHT. (6) Switch DPS to big guy when small guy runs away (KEEP SMALL GUY INTERRUPTED) (7) Kill both at same time or we all die.
Skarmorak
(1) Destroy 1 shard at a time. (2) Pick up only 1-3 black orbs at a time.
Void Speaker Eirich
(1) Drop blue circels at edge of room, be mindful of placement. (2) When you get corruption, stand near (not in) a portal to remove it. (3) Avoid big boss cone.
-----
The Dawnbreaker =======================
Speaker Shadowcrown
(1) She will sometimes project 3 purple beams and rotate. Avoid the beams. (2) Remember to hop onto mount and fly away from big cast; 50%/0%.
Generals
3 Generals @ Big Church -> House across from church -> Down the hill in town. Follow pings, try not to pull too much extra. We will fight the boss on the hill after killing all 3 generals.
Anub'ikkaj
(1) Run out of purple circle. (2) Do not get hit by giant purple ball. (3) If targeted by ball, send up or down the hill to send it as far as possible.
Rasha'nan
(1) Barrels to boss ASAP. DPS in first phase doesn't matter, only barrels. (2) You can fly straight to second platform but first grab a gold orb. (3) In Phase 2, take webs to edge of platform. (4) Boss down on 60%.
------
Ara-Kara, City of Echoes =======================
Avanoxx
(1) Kill Ads (2) Kill ads (3) Kill ads
Anub'zekt
(1) Avoid big swirlies (2) At 100 energy, it will summon a swarm. Stay inside the safe circle or die. (3) Still avoid swirlies.
Ki'katal the Harvester
(1) The mobs running across the arena will drop a blue goo. (2) Blue goo will root you in place and has to be killed. (3) We want 5-7 Goo spots when boss does big pull in.
(4) When boss does pull in, STAND IN GOO to get rooted or die. (5) When cast ends, KILL ALL ROOTS. CC will kill roots.
(6) Avoid swirlies. (7) Thank your healer. (8) Win.
------
Grim Batol =======================
General Umbriss
(1) Avoid orange circles on ground. (2) When room turns purple, look for safe lane.
Forgemaster Throngus
(1) When boss changes weapon, he does lots of aoe damage. (2) Phase 1 is Axe, drop pizza slices next to each

Don’t nerf delve difficulty
There are a lot of posts about people struggling to do tier 7/8 delves, and I think that is ok. I am glad it is not a cake walk loot piñata. If you are not good enough to complete tier 8 delves solo right now, then you may need to spend more time gearing up than someone who is capable of doing it at 580 ilvl. I like the challenge. I like that it is difficult solo content. Please don’t nerf them to be walk through loot dumps.

Listen, I don't want to be that guy, but...
... Can we get medical attention for the guy outside the inn?
I'm sitting here looking at my map, trying to pick a world quest, and this guy is heavy breathing like he's having a heart attack.
And he's doing it right in my ear. It's extremely uncomfortable.
Can we get this dude a stretcher?
Otherwise this poor guy is going to have a cardiac episode all expansion long. And I'm going to have to listen to him heavy sigh into my fucking ear, each and every time I plan my day.
