I think he means there seems to be a lot of warriors so he thinks that some class must have died to cause the sudden increase in warriors. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of healers suddenly quit healing and went to another class/dps because of the healing changes.
I see
I haven't seen any shaman mains lately. I've also rarely see DK tanks.
I also have been seeing a huge amount feral bears and cats in my 85 instances.
But I guess there is a good amount of variety that's better then back in wrath where there was only a landslide of paladins and DKs.

first issue when cata launched, healers complain because of hard to heal dungeons and mana restriction... so they made other toons...
druid abundance = more farmers... easy to farm herbs in flight form and aquatic form, you don't need to shapeshift when harvesting herbs... and in most servers, herbs = gold...
and boomkins have good dps output, next to rogues, locks and mages...

That's a very valid point.
Druids are
supposed
to be one of the most played classes now but I have 3 lvl85 characters, all 3 on different servers and all running heroic dungeons at least occasionally and I barely see any Druids.
I think I only once had a Druid tank in those runs while Paladin/Warrior/DK tanks are all very common.
Either my sample size is extremely low and I just happen to not get paired with Druids or the sudden increase in Druid "popularity" really is due to farmers and/or botters (which seem to be online 24/7 on many servers) using Druids for their Flight Form farming.
As for the major extinction event: I think it hit the DKs. They were the new thing in WotLK and everyone rolled one. Now that we have a new expansion and everyone has tried their DK they get bored of them. DKs are not special anymore, in fact they have kind of a bad reputation so without the novelty bonus they had in WotLK their numbers are declining.
When chosing my "new main" among all my lvl 80 characters I at least didn't really waste a second thinking about my DK.
Tanks in general are also in very high demand right now for the random dungeons. This might motivate quite a few people to play their Warrior (or DK or Paladin) over a dps class which would have to endure 30 minute dungeon queues.
