So, I have the Defiant and Noble Map Packs.
Thing is, I can play in those maps in custom games but not in matchmanking?
What the hell?

It tells me, everytime I choose a playlist, DLC related or not, "one or more players do not have the maps required to play in this playlist".
If it is a DLC related matchmaking lobby, my GT flashes. If not, the message still shows up.

So there's no Matchmaking ONLY for Defiant and Noble?

The lobby says I need Defiant and Noble, only.

Anyone?
I want more feedback.

Why does it say I only need the Defiant and Noble Map packs?

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

You sure it says required and not just recommended?

Correction: No DLC is required in any playlist, except anniversary in the anniversary playlists. It does only say RECOMMENDED.

Correction: There's a new playlist what REQUIRES all 3 dlc. Since they removed premium battle they had a ton of complaints about it and put a new DLC ONLY playlist in the game which is squad DLC.

But since you haven't played the game since last weekend you wouldn't know this. It was released on Tuesday.

Well they did have Noble & Defiant playlists back when it just came out, which turned into Premium Slayer and Battle, but now for those DLC you can only play them in Squad DLC or being matched up with players who also have it (as you already may know). So the only way you'll be able to play them is if you get the Anniversary map pack; just get Halo CEA, it's worth it for the remastered game along with extras and the Anniversary map pack itself for only $40! :)
