If you know the storylines and/or even remotely like storylines of anything you can appreciate some of the returning characters.
For example, Death Wing ressurecting Onyxia and Nefarian, his own eldest children, as necrotic and twisted zombie slaves is probably the most disgusting thing a parent could do. Its a definite supporting factor to demonstrate how insane and corrupted by the Old Gods he really is. Whats wrong with returning characters? They both have a rich history.
Besides, they have updated models, updated abilities, and are in completely different locations. Really the only thing psyically the same is their names, so if you don't care for plotlines whats it matter who the dragons are? They're just meaningless loot bags to you.
