So I gave the LFR tool a few goes this week. In order for the LFR tool to populate any raids for you, your average item level needs to be 372. The gear the new raid drops is level 384, so by the time you can get into any raids via this tool, anything you get there will only be marginal or lateral upgrades. Even the tier items that drop are item level 384. You will still get your set bonuses from these items, but the stats on them are lower than the tier you'd get from killing bosses outside the LFR tool.
That being said, It was a chance to see watered-down versions of the first 4 fights in Dragon soul. Each week, you can gain 250 valor points and have a chance to roll on loot off each boss one time. this means that if you kill every boss the first time you go, there is no point in going again that week, as you will not get valor points or loot (I did it twice just to confirm this). It also means if you get added to a raid that's downed any bosses, you can go again to get a chance at the loot from the bosses you didn't kill, which explains why 5 or 6 people leave after each boss dies - why stay if you have nothing to gain?
