Another lost level 60

Well, now that I've gotten that at least partially out of my system, I just want to state that while I am a freak when it comes to making and playing different characters, I can also completely understand those who hate having multiple characters and rather dislike how the end-game is set up.  Aleri is starting to get to the point where almost all of her quests are in the end game instances and I just don't want to play her a lot of the time because I don't want to be in dungeons all the time.  However, since I still haven't seen as much of the world as I'd like, I take her out exploring and just sight seeing.  If I complete a couple of green world quests while sight seeing, fine.  That's icing on the cake, but it's nice to just go off and look at things and not worry about if I take too many steps into this interesting ruin, will I get my head handed to me on a platter?  Little sessions like that rejuvenate Aleri for me and then I can play her again in instances or whatever.  Getting her better gear also helps to make her feel less stagnant, but I'm not really concentrating on that with her.  I just pop by the AH every now and then to see what I can pick up.  And, of course, getting donations from some kind people. :)  I did manage to pick up one new item in BRD, but before that, the last dungeon drop that actually was an upgrade for her was Scarlet Monastery, iirc.  So I'm dreading level 60 when all I can do to progress her more is dungeon crawling.  I get better world drops than I do dungeon drops.  Why would I want to spend hours and hours and hours to try to find an item or two that probably won't drop anyway and if I'm in a raid, the other priests will just outroll me for whatever might happen to drop?  So I am also dreading level 60 and have been able to put it off for a long time now, but she's creeping ever closer and I can't hold off the cap forever.  At least I can enjoy my other characters though.

That's where my 55 is at the moment. I pull her out and play her some, I go explore the places I never made it to, and if she sticks her head in the meat-grinder, no big deal, it was fun to find out what was there anyway. She'll make it to 60, but I'm not pushing hard. I feel a shift coming to get my Horde warrior to the 50+ range. I play whatever is interesting for that day.

And, you are right about the talent points. My mostly-protection warrior doesn't have the same fast-kill power at the same level as my arms/fury warrior does. But, my arms/fury warrior gets in the situation of having to kill fast in a multi-mob situation or get beat up pretty bad. The end result is same class, but not the same play experience. And, to me, that IS one of the big *YES* points of the game. YMMV.
