I've seen it in testing and it looks great, but we can't tell you anything". I'm back in the game for 2 months, but that's only for low level grouped questing with a few friends.

Yeah, I don't know how many distinct groups of players they have.
Off hand, there seem to be: raiders, pvpers, soloers, small-groupers, crafters, and farmers (not to mention a few that WoW doesn't cater at all to). Of those, I'd say only the PvP group is sated (if not necessarily rewarded). But for the rest, there is only enough content for ~6 months at "casual" speed. And I'm guessing that they didn't ramp up their content production teams fast enough, or didn't have the infastructure in place to handle the leading edge of the "more more more" crowd.
I'd place myself in the small-groupers and crafters. And the lack of new 5-man dungeons sucks. I think they should invest in semi-random content. Just mixing up the mob spawns would be a start. Also, adjustable-difficulty instances would be nice to.
