I completely agree with you that WoW is lacking end-game content for those without 5 hour blocks of time on their hands, and that's why I stated that you're making the right choice for your situation. I'm an Option 1 person - I have now invested heavy time in 9 characters (1 per class, 8 on Stormrage and 1 on Terenas) and these 9 will keep me busy for so long that I don't see myself ever running out of content. I love being able to jump on for an hour or two on any of my characters and feel like I'm accomplishing something.

I'm with Bolty on this one. I've got Horde chars on one server, and Alliance on the other, I have 2 warriors and one of every other class between the two servers. I have a 55 human war, a 32 troll war, a hunter and rogue both in their 20s and the other 6 are young, in their teens. I can jump on for 30 minutes to 6 hours, whatever the situation, and accomplish something. It'll be a LONG time before I run out of content, because, running a priest through the same quests I ran my warrior through is not the same ballgame, or a shaman, or pally, or a hunter, and on and on. And, then I can do it on the other faction for another set of quests. Yes, the 'neutral' quests are the same for both sides, but I'm a quest monkey anyway.
Bolty is also right about the casual vs hardcore gaming at 60. You can't make those uber-items easy enough to get that the casual gamer gets them. The addicts leave if you do. Blizz is sorta stuck on that one. So, if you're stuck to your one capped character, you may need to unsub and take a break. I'm not criticizing you for it, don't get me wrong. You pays your money and you makes your choices.
In my opinion, being stuck to one character is just like *only* playing Alliance, or *only* playing Horde. You have arbitrarily cut yourself out of a big chunk of content you could see, but it's your choice to make. And if you've made that choice to be tied to your one character, then you pay the price. I doubt that Treesh, for instance, will run off very soon, as she probably has bunches of char builds/ideas that she hasn't even tried yet.
