I came back to SWTOR after many months hoping things improved. I was dissapointed that my WZ experience is exactly how you described it. I have cancelled once again and it makes me very sad. I know many of my friends left prior to 1.2 because of this (among other issues). It is just not fun at all for me. I hope they do fix it. I may give SWTOR another look again in the future but time is running out for me I may never even bother.
Add time to kill and gimmicky OP abilities (like smash spec) to that but I think you have the biggest problem highlighted
