That's like saying the biggest cocaine haters are former addicts =|.

It has gone down hill for raiding. The leveling and questing experience has gotten better, but there are only so many toons I want to level before I want incredible end game stuff too.

Define best? Did they improve things like questing and interfact? Yeah 100%. But lore wise, raiding wise and PvP wise the same problems remained. Lore was stale and dumb, that pushed people away. Raiding was still overly easy, with nerfs to bosses coming through the pipe within weeks of being dropped, and PvP was still not totally balanced. That never affected me, but I know people that quit over it. Will it be a better leveling experience than TOR? Undoubtedly, but lightsabres will fix all ToR problems early on.

Intricate =/= Good.
The time commitment has gone down as raids get shorter an easier. I'm not pining for 40 mans, but I remember when Karazhan first dropped and you'd need to set aside a few LOOOONG nights to clear it. Now when a raid drops people clear it in a night. Just not hard. Also, dailies are a job. I did not buy WoW to do a job. Game. It's a game.

Just because the expansion isn't directly linked to anything you mentioned does not mean major content patches won't bring them into play. Burning Crusade was supposed to be about Illidan, but you end up getting Kil'Jaeden too.
