I feel your pain.
My guild is leveling alts. I'm being told by them that instead of running these older instances with their alts so that I can learn to play my new class with a group of people who I trust so that I will understand how to dps in a group rather than heal, I should get boosted and concentrate on getting to 80 and then learn how to play.
Yeah, thanks for sucking ALL the fun out of it. You really want another rubbish dps at 80? Aren't these boards full of comments about people who do not know how to play? Then why on earth would you want someone to rush to 80 without doing any of the older content with a proper group just because you've already seen it? Good for you! Now what about what someone else wants?
I don't pug for a few reasons: when I do, I end up wishing I hadn't most of the time. Being screamed at, or not given time to loot and take mana breaks, or having someone ninja loot that is clearly meant only for my class and I'm the only one in the group who can use it, has put me off pugging.
As a result, I've come to the conclusion that the only way I'm ever going to see older content is by doing it at 80 when someone expects me to boost or if a mate rolls another char and actually wants to group for it with one of my alts. I was offered boosts in older end game dungeons but I didn't take them. I wanted the full group experience. Silly me! Had no idea that older instances are clearly for boosting purposes only for alts of established players. They are not for anyone who is new to the game. (Insert sarcasm where necessary.)
I prefer the older dungeons. I find them interesting and often beautiful. I'd rather have a challenge that takes an hour or more to get through than run a short instance. To me WoW is more than just getting to 80. There's so much to experience on the way to 80. Just because many players saw it years ago and are bored with it is no reason to tell someone else not to bother with it.

Honestly, pre-BC dungeons you don't even need a tank or healer that's specced for it. All you need is Stamina and a shield (tank), or a large mana pool (healer).
On my shammy which I'm currently working on, I've healed SM GY, SM Lib, and ZF successfully at their levels. I was specced Elemental, rather than Resto.
I've even been complimented on my healing skills on that char.
If I can find a group for the instance, I'll run it. If not, I'll just keep chugging through quests. I enjoy instancing in general, especially when you find that really good PUG.
