It's not that the hate is high, its the piss poor way in which Grant forced the changes on the readers. Be reasonable for a second. For the last 70 years, the only Batman in regular continuity has been Bruce Wayne. The punk way in which he "died" and the subsequent passing of the mantle without Bruce's consent has made a lot of fans angry. Truth is ASB, you're one of the few who like the change. It isn't that Dick isn't capable as the Batman, but the bottom line is: He's not Batman. He's the guardian of the mantle until Bruce's return.
Well he couldn't really get Bruce's consent since he "died." And yes, Bruce has been Batman for 70 years, which mean having Dick become the Bat be a good change of pace. Bruce has gotta be pushin 40 right, and Dick's the rightful heir to the mantle anyway.
I doubt he'll be back right after Blackest Night. They'll find out he's still alive somewhere, but he probably won't be back until after DC's big 2010 event.
And what do you mean Dick has to "learn his lesson"? Is the hate for Dick Grayson as Batman really that high here?
I don't like Grayson as Batman but it's not a hate thing.
In Battle for the Cowl # 3 Dick mentions Bruce telling him in his video message to him that he does not want Dick to become batman. I think that is important. Something is going to come of that and once it does Bruce will come back.
Thats what I mean by learn his lesson. I mean nothing cross by it.
Gotham needs Batman though, Bruce didn't take that into account. Dick wanted to respect his wishes, but the chaos Gotham was in gave him no choice.

The Search For Batman will be a fairly large event and it should be beginning right after Blackest Night. basically every deceased hero and most deceased villains have become or will become Black Lanterns. the other heroes see this and know this. when they see that Bruce isnt a Black Lantern, i'm sure someone will realize, hey Batman really isnt dead and the search will begin. if it doesnt occur than it will showcase DC once again dropping the ball and screwing with their own continuity again.
Tim did say he found a clue to Bruce still being alive. And I have faith DC will begin the search after Blackest Night. It's not like they're Marvel.
