funnier. Spell check ftw. TL/DR mainly because we know all this and it's just a rehash of every QQ that has come out since Wrath's release.

Getting gear is fun, but it's fun because it means something. If it's too easily obtainable, you don't feel like it's a reward, just a handout.
Rushing is fun when it feels like you accomplished something, when it requires good gameplay and good gear. It isn't fun when it's just the regular way to play.
Progression is fun in a game, because you go from start to finish. Rushing players directly to the end without them having to enjoy each step is not fun.
Playing is fun. Mashing a button isn't fun. Gameplay in LK is about mashing AoE, not playing. Dumbing down the game has not made it funnier. Even just reading your bolded things... most of that is the same QQ the 'hardcore types' have been throwing up since Wrath came out.

Hey hardcore nothing I feel the exact same I feel I play this game because I have to now not because I want to. I barley see any fun any more.
Tell me how many of you have actualy seen Yogg? I have a played time at lvl 80 on my ICC geared Druid of around 72 days but I have not once got to yogg. Why? because I didn't need gear from him to go into TOC.
Hell I don't even really need TOC to get into ICC just do heroics and get badges. I think Badges is what ruined the whole game in my opinion.
Take them out and you only have Instances, Heroics and raids. You not gonna do Heroics and get into T 35 raids You gonna have to do Heroics then T1 then T2 and work your way up makes it fun again. (being sarcastic on the T parts I know we don't have t35 or not down at t1 anymore.

You think gear is given out to easy? Try being a holy paladin, it
never drops
.
I have done Toc 10 full clears since Toc came out and i havent seen a single holy paladin chest piece (or the lovely shield) drop. Same in ICC (ok it's only been out a bit but i do it on 3 characters each week). Thank god for beaing able to get gear through emblems...
But yes i agree with you, although of you want fun in a raid become a healer, it's never the same and very fun.
Sometimes i like to fish off the coast of Storm Peaks listening to the music, i find that fun so i guess it's different for everyone

Outside Hard Modes, the game doesn't push you to improve yourself. The rewards are bland, as you don't feel you actually "earned" them (I'm talking about a "gaming" earning, not a "real-life" earning, or course).
'Except for the parts that are hard, the game is easy.'
By making the gear so easily obtainable, lots of the fun of actually obtaining the gear is lost. Lots of the fun of actually improving your gear is lost. If I change my gear every week, it isn't really meaningful. If I can easily obtain gear, it doesn't really provide a fun reward.
Yes, lower level gear is easily obtainable. Gear for now obsolete content is easy to get and replace, which is
exactly
the way leveling works, but no one seems to care that their Acolyte's robes only last them until level 3 or so.
Accept the fact that heroics, naxx 10, and ulduar 10 are no longer 'endgame' and the speed at which gear is replaced makes sense. It's the same speed gear gets replaced at while you're leveing up to reach harder and more serious content
Progression: There would be more people complaining that they couldn't possibly get to ICC10 now if Blizzard made it just about impossible to gear up without going through all of the level 80 raids than there are people complaining that they can go from heroics straight to ICC 10 now. You cannot make both sets of these people happy, but there are more people that want to get into something serious than there are people who want to spend months getting through content that no one who's been around for a while cares about anymore.
Your last and third to last point (which are basically the same):
So
five man heroics
don't require a great depth of thought, where as in TBC they did.
However, in TBC, you couldn't get away with jumping right into five man heroics. You had to, sing it with me now,
grind easy dungeons for a while to get the gear
. I'll bet you spend roughly the same amount of time doing easy content so that you're geared for slightly challenging content now as you did in TBC, but the names of the easy parts and the hard parts have changed. What has changed is the amount of said easy and said hard content (see TL;DR). It sounds like you have this specific idea of what a 'heroic' should be and it isn't that, so you're upset. But what really matters is the time you spend grinding easy things to do harder things, regardless of what each one is named in whatever expansion this currently is. I doubt those times have changed dramatically.
Of course, the famous TL;DR:
Show me your ICC hard mode achievements and I'll accept that you have a valid reason to make the complains you do.

Then... why continue to play? This makes no sense. And this is a serious question. This is not a troll, this is not a veiled cheap shot, I really am curious: If you are not enjoying the game, why do you play it?

^^^ This. Blizzard isn't going to cater the game to exactly how you like it. If you don't like where the game is going, stop complaining and play something else.
Unless, of course, your life has evolved around WoW for long enough that you have nothing better to do than complain and
hope
the game gets catered to your liking. This isn't a healthy lifestyle; find a hobby.

I submit to you that the boring parts of the game are no longer as boring.
What say you?

There are many things that were fun and now are boring (deadmines ftl)

Oh, lets see... the majority of the stuff that makes me mad is really recent such as: Giving level 20's mounts, removing the lfg tool below level 15, removing aggressive mobs from the beginner areas... The list goes on but these are what have bugged me in the last 30 minutes.
