The least they can do, if they want to scrap epic, is to change/adjust the lootlists so the rare stuff drops more often in normal boss fights.
What was wrong with gearing alts/friends? You spent time ingame, you get rewards. You make friends or communicate. That's how it should be. Seriously...next thing is that you want to limit access to lowbie instances or bug the instancing even more.
You can never force people to group up or play like you want them to play. If people want progress through fightclubbing, farming for alts, grinding raids over and over, grinding gold etc.... let them. Here game system design comes in, to make sure the intended route will always be more average fun, rewarding and time effective.
Of course you can now still get the blues from other epic instances, but i see a bad trend evolving here.
epic was always used the same way suctum described more often then not when i was on pvp servers i would go vanity farming for an alt or a friend and we would meet up a couple of naked rp'ers farming each other at rez pad.
loot is available in other dungeons btw, mainly the self generating to lvl both solo dungeons and the tradeskill area dungeons.
there is no loss at all.
