Patch 3.3 (http://www.wow.com/tag/patch-3.3/) has been out for two days now, and we're starting to see lots of reactions to the various new encounters pour in. Drawing from bloggers' posts, forum threads, and the reactions of a random sampling of players I've pugged with (the new LFG system is great), this is a short gloss on what I'm seeing so far:
Forge of Souls is the easiest of the new 5-mans. The most common gripe is that group members don't pay attention to their raid warnings and move in as necessary for Bronjahm (http://www.wowwiki.com/Bronjahm), or stop DPS on Devourer of Souls (http://www.wowwiki.com/Devourer_of_Souls) if they get Mirrored Soul.
Pit of Saron is pretty cool, though quite sad at the end (at least if you're Horde). The trash pulls full of casters are on the tough side if people aren't good about interrupting or moving out of Hellfire on heroic. Also, don't bank on getting Don't Look Up (http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=4525) in a pug.
