When I was in my first raiding guild, I was often PuGging content with strangers... and because PuGging was so difficult, I always added good PuG raid leaders and reliable PuGgers to my list so that I would know who to ask if I ever wanted a group for old raids or achievements.
As people have left the game and WoW has changed to be more casual-friendly with LFR and Flex modes making an entrance, my friends list has become less a way of keeping track of random good players and more about keeping track of ex-guildies.
Is this a bad thing? Possibly. I can't remember the last time I met anybody new in WoW outside of the guild. Then again, I suppose the last time I PuGged anything outside the guild was around then, too. RIP Trade Chat PuGging :(

Trade chat pugging is still alive and well on my busy server, it usually comes in too fast for me to even read. If your server hasn't been merged to the point of being high population yet, hang tight, chances are you'll see it return soon.
(and it still sucks... enjoy your retro rose coloured glasses thing while it lasts... :) )
