I’ve been complaining a bit because I couldn’t manage to down Garrosh in flex. In fact, most groups couldn’t get past the first boss of Downfall. On Friday I listed myself for Downfall and got invited to a group just for Garrosh. It was super simple, and everything went extremely smoothly. It was a lot easier than most LFR groups even! Anyways, I’m happy to have completed flex.

It’s funny, I noticed in a recent MMO-Champion post that more players have killed Garrosh NORMAL than Garrosh Flex. I have no explanation for that (don’t even have a theory) but apparently your difficulty in getting a Flex kill isn’t entirely unique. :)
Where did you see that? According to the following post 50% more (roughly) have killed him on Flex than Normal:

Ah – yeah, I was working off the 2nd chart, not the 1st one… phrased it badly, I was speaking in relative terms, not absolute. In absolute numbers more have killed him on Flex but in relative numbers (2nd chart), more have killed him on Normal.
Basically, if you’re raiding Normal, you’re more likely to have a Garrosh kill than you are if you’re only raiding Flex, is how I’m reading that. I’m still somewhat surprised by that but I guess the much wider performance gap you see between players in Flex would account for almost all of that result. Maybe not as mystifying as I first thought.
“I guess the much wider performance gap you see between players in Flex would account for almost all of that result”
Bingo. All that means is a larger percentage of people who start normal finish it compared to people in Flex. And since anyone with half a brain cell can kill the first boss or three in Flex…
