The new content is absolutely great. Give it a shot.

I agree. I hate leveling but it's so much more fun in the expansion. Ever since I hit 77 I've been rushing through the content just because I want to get back into raiding/pvp, but even then, it's been a blast. A lot of it is the same old stuff like go here and grab 20 of this, or kill 10 of these guys, but they've added a few new types of quests.
The stuff on the vehicles has been fun so far. It's not just flying a dragon and killing stuff. There's quests where you get to ride a shredder to kill stuff, there's even one (and probably more) where you get to ride a giant and smash stuff.
One of the things I'm enjoying the most is the new mini boss fights. One that I did last night had me fight an elite w/ a lot of hp. You get a rod to mind control one of his guys and then try to avoid him. He throws stuff at you/the ground that you have to avoid and while you're doing that you're attacking him with the pet you have and he's healing you also. It was pretty fun and a nice change of pace.
The new phasing tech is great too. There's one zone that starts out with you capturing a few guys then fighting an elite. After you complete the quest, you're sent back there and now that place shows up as a new base camp w/ a quest hub and flight path.
If you got sick of the content in TBC and didnt want to return to wow because you thought it'd be more of the same, I'd definitely recommend trying this out. I think it has enough new stuff to keep the game fresh. -
