The zone and quest content were the best it had ever been. Raid encounters were tougher and more elaberate than ever. 5 man dungeons were more engaging and demanding of players. And on the social side Terenas Lurkers came into Cataclysm with a stronger raid team than we had seen for nearly a year accomplishing encounter mechanics that a few months earlier in LK would probably have produced no end of frustrations.
And yet, despite how great it all looks on paper, somewhere in the details the game drained all my ability to enjoy it on my own terms. The only time I had fun any more was during those few hours that we were working on raid bosses. During off times I slowy went from working on dailies and reps, to standing around working the auction house, to just not bothering to log in.
I could have written this. The only reason I'm 100% sure I didn't is that it is rather more eloquently stated than I am capable of.
