Lion cannot troubleshoot anymore than any other OS can. It can do the other stuff.
Disk Utility is not a troubleshooter, it repairs the disk and repair disk permissions. It erases, partitions, formats, creates disk images, mounts, unmounts, ejects. That's it. Period. That's all it ever did in any other OS, and that's all it does in Lion.
What Lion has is the option to use DU without booting from the OS disk, use TM, and lets you run Safari to get online. That is new, and it is great.
It is also necessary, as you will have no Lion Disk unless you have burned one yourself.
