'Looking for Group' channel has *not* been removed, you just have to
use the LFG tool to access it. If you are trying to monitor instead of
wanting to join with the toon you're currently playing, click the down
button next to "Dungeon" and select "Zone" instead, then pick one.
Admittedly I haven't tried this a lot, but I've yet to be asked into a
group for the zone I've selected in the few times I've tried it.

Now, if you had said the LFG tool is broken and/or almost useless, I
wouldn't argue. I've had several toons not be able to LFG for Gnomer,
because the filter they use thinks they are too high level, even
though "The Grand Betrayer" (I'm pretty sure that's the right name),
the main quest or at least the quest for the end boss, was still
*red*, or at the very least still orange.

I had an even worse problem with the LFG tool when I last played my
Priest. She finished up a level 30 Dun Modr quest, and got a Stockades
quest. Of course the filter decided that at level 30 she was too high
for Stockades, so again I couldn't look for Stocks (incidentally, this
is when I discovered the "zone" thing, as she also had quests (still
green) for BFD and couldn't look there, either, so I tried looking for
Ashenvale). Fortunately, a level 26 Rogue whispered me to ask if he
was high enough to try Gnomer, which I'd also signed up for. My reply
was that I didn't think so, unless he had a really good tank and/or a
better healer than I was, so he asked me what dungeon he should be
going to. I told him Stockades, and asked him to *please* let me know
if he got a group together for it.

That turned into one of the more interesting runs I've had lately ;-)
Levels 24 and 26 Rogues, a Mage (don't remember level, but it was in
the right range) and a Druid (same). I'd seen them asking in LFG for a
tank, so I asked if the Druid was going to Tank. The leader, the 24
Rogue, said "No, Rogue tank", and I'm glad I kept my mouth shut,
because I certainly had my doubts about that.

I ended up pretty bored through the run, with not much to do except
for in the Ward fight. *That* one was tough, I might have lost a
member or two if I didn't get help healing from the Druid, but I did
get it although I hadn't asked for it, and we got through without a
single death. The 24 Rogue seemed to me to be doing a better job of
playing his toon than I do with my 53 Rogue, not that that's saying a
whole lot, but he tanked through with *no* problems, not even needing
a heal on most of the fights. Heh, I probably ended up healing the 26
Rogue and the Mage more than the Tank, even though I was keeping my
focus on the Tank.

Again, I've gone into "much more than you asked for" territory,
especially since you didn't *ask* anything, so I'll shut up now ;-)
