you feel you where progressing in cata? in cata you went from some greens to almost BiS is 2 weeks because of there jp/vp model. now with MoP you go from normal dungeon/heroic to lfr/normal 5.0 raids then go to 5.2 lfr/normal raids. and with 5.x come out it will be the same with the new raid next. that is progressing. farming heroic dungeon till you got the point for a item is not progressing imo.
