I've recently come back and doing the 10 day free MoP trial. Made a Panda monk, as it's the one thing I haven't done. Interesting to go through the old zones on Alliance side, and see what has changed with the Cata revamp. Not sure yet if I'll sub, but it's been pretty fun so far, and contrary to what I want to believe, my play times are so terrible, the super casual nature of WoW helps me.

Cata gets a lot of shit, but the revamp of the 1-60 vanilla zones was actually pretty good. Don't skip the Alliance Redridge main questline if possible ;P
Yeah, the real problem with Cata was that so much time was spent on the 1-60 revamp it ate into the dev time for theactualexpansion zones.
Well that, and long linear zone-wide questlines made levelling alts tedious to the extreme (especially when they fucked up the themes of the quest-line - hi, Uldum! Why not introduce an interesting new race then throw them away a quarter of the way through the zone and make the rest a boring Indiana Jones pasticheagain? Oh, you have? Okay then).
And listening to the players whine about Arthas being over-used in WotLK then goingcompletelyto the opposite extreme and having the main villain not show up at all outside of cinematics, random zone-wide drivebys and the last raid. (Technically the main boss - N'Zoth - wasn't even in the game and still isn't).
And shitty patch content.

That's kind of the question, I know I need to bump my haste, but the at the expense of what? I'm not that far over hit cap, barely enough to want to fuck with it.

Next xpack will very likely be the return of Sargeras and the Burning Legion, so Garrosh's corruption will probably be Sargeras using him as a way into Azeroth similar to what he did with Azshara. Taking on Queen Azshara & the Naga would make for a good tier of the expansion, and N'Zoth could be the big honcho for that tier as a bonus boss like Ra'Den/Elegon.
Not if the Titans get fed up and decide to fuck our shit up. Sergeras is the big bad of course, but the Titans are each are on par with him. They could also easily create an even bigger threat by pulling something new out of the Twisting Nether/Great Dark.
Sargeras is going to happen one way or another. The last few Old Gods, Sargeras/Legion, and Queen Azshara are the only established threats left after MoP. Not to mention that Velen's prophecy and the latest Wrathion stuff is foretelling his return anyways.

There's a difference between mishandling/retconning lore, and completely tossing it out the window. We know they loosely plan their expansion themes well in advance, and there are several things in MoP that point to the return of the legion, just as there was several things in Cata that pointed to Garrosh becoming more than just a faction leader, and Blizzard has never demonstrated the ability to be subtle in their storylines. Short of them using another expansion as build-up for it, I'm pretty damn sure that we'll see it announced in November.
Edit: As for the breadcrumbs, there's also the pet tamer in Felwood, the Lock green fire shit, Anduin getting to a stage where he can fulfill his part in Velen's Prophecy, and a couple other small things that aren't coming to mind ATM.
