I really hope they don't run into issues like they did with Wintergrasp (Northrend's?) arena where it was overflowing memory usage into the real servers causing timeouts. If everything works out smoothly I will be having Blizzard tattooed across my chest and arse-cheeks by December 2011/12 with the Ultimate Trifecta of godly games are out (WoW:Cataclysm, Starcraft 2, and Diablo 3).

I don't think the lag will be an issue, as I think they are hosting these instances (dungeons) on other servers solely for these purposes. Much like the current cross-realm battlegrounds like Alterac Valley, Arathi Basin, Wintergrasp, etc.

So I wonder how this cross-realm dungeon finder is going to work? If it's to help you raid/plunder dungeons with cross-realm people then does that mean, server-shared instances will be in effect? Will server population burdens affect the performance of the dungeon? I haven't been on WoW since October, and while this sounds great as far as increasing chances of getting into that dungeon you need, I wonder if it will cause latency issues between low and high population servers.
