I guess I'm not at the place you are so I can't empathize, and I have no clue really what you are talking about. I will qualify my experience in that this is my first MMORPG, and I did wait to start playing the game until February. Generally, I am a tight wad, so the biggest obstacle to me diving into WOW was the P4P model. My timing at plunking along and reaching 60 is not bad as I figure just as I get there, the battlegrounds and some more new content will be released.
I've been mostly focused on Stormrage Alliance, and mostly on my main. I am playing a NE Hunter(52) who is an Alchemist/Herbalist, a Dwarf Warrior(31) who is a miner/engineer, a Gnome Rogue (25) who is a skinner/miner, a Human Warlock (25) who is a tailor/enchanter, and NE Priest(25) who is a skinner/leather worker. I have a similiar handful of Horde toons on Terenas, which frankly I have not had time to play. My point is that the game still has untapped riches and content for me.
So, in the next few weeks when I reach level 60 with my main I fully expect to jump in on some higher level content. So casual to me means that on MWF weekdays I would expect not to start until after work hours (7pm Stormrage time), on the weekends I could jump into some extended play if we started early (like 7am), or later in the day (like 4pm). It is summer here in the northern climates, so I need to enjoy the all too brief warm outdoor weather.
As for taking breaks after 2 - 3 hours in an instance... My god I would hope so, I don't want to be so commited that I need to wear a diaper. Anyway, I don't see that your situation is all that different from the majority. I hope to see you back in the fall, or whenever your craving compels you to rejoin.
