PUGs have always been horrible in WoW - until Blizz just nerfed all dungeons, of course. I am conviced, that dungeons should be hard and a place, where groups have to think about what they are doing.  

Unforutnately since WotLK a great majority of players are accustomed to blindlessly rushing through dungeons (so much for the trinity, that actually nobody uses in WoW). I love the approach by Arenanet very much, because nobody just can stand in his corner and spam his skill-rotation. Everybody has to support and do damage. And afterwards you really feel, like you have accomplished something - I don't care about rewards, as long the gameplay is rewarding.

I walked away from GW2 after my first dungeon experience there. It basically took everything that I was "borderline" on about GW2 and red-flagged it.  Repair costs were about 20% of my total cash. That was it for me. Haven't logged in for several weeks now. And haven't missed it.

First time me and my friends did Ascalon Catacombs we did it with no deaths. Because we worked as a team and shared the roles of tanking, healing and support.

People just want a dedicated healer to blame for their own lacking ability.

I don't like gamedesign where resurrection is part of the strategy .... it feels too arcade for my taste.

It is part of the strategy for bad players. Good players learn to play better to avoid deaths, and are likely the people ressurecting the bad players in PUGs.

2nd and the best thing about GW2 is that you dont need tons of cash you really can do everything your self and be independant so if you use 10% of your cash on repairs go run out and kill stuff for 10 minutes and gather a few mats and you gained it all back.  They do a really good job of making sure noone is dependant on lots of cash to get things from other players.
