Have you done these dungeons? this isnt tbc skipping, the side bosses are literally out of your way my dude… you have to enter buildings or go down a tunnel to get the optionals. and yes its a substantial difference. avg 20 min a run vs 35 skipping the optional bosses.
I needed the wand on 2 mages… and run nova instance tracker. you can say whatever you want but what im stating is based on factual experiences.
