I like how people argue that older expansions like BC had time gating but they forget to mention that those expansions didn't make previous content obsolete so you had things to do, and when I say content I don't just mean raids,professions were useful to level and pvp was good. Isle of quel'danas was amazing and im willing to bet the mechagon dungeon won't be even half as difficult as heroic magisters terrace.
