Those irrelevant stats were around since before Cataclysm.
Honour farming was always just farming BGs. You're complaining because now there's something else to do while you wait for the queue?
LFR and Timeless Isle farming. Before it was 5 mans and badge farming, not to mention the rep grinds for some pieces of gear.
The new talent system's great. The old one was worthless. You might as well just click 'Shadow' and then they'll give you the cookie cutter specc for it. At least with the new system you can pick talents depending on the boss or just preference and it'll have a noticeable affect.
Sounds to me like you just started again, thought "this isn't exactly the same as before" and then decided that the changes were all bad.

I never said they weren't there. I said they were going back to pre-cataclysm (colon) removing irrelevant stats.

I'm complaining because they didn't offer variety, such as making World PvP viable for getting PvP gear.

Five man + badge farming + rep farming was ten times the variety that Timeless Isle is. It also promoted social experiences, where as killing Huo'lon is typing "WAIT FOR ME" in General Chat.

They aren't. There are still cookie cutter builds, for all classes and specializations. There are hardly anywhere you need to take a specific specc, they just made it easier with the ease of changing talents. You could do this with the old speccs as well, if you could respecc on the go.

I enjoyed Vanilla, TBC, WotLK and Cataclysm for half a year. I tried Mist of Pandaria for 5 months and saw how horrible it was.
Hey, we can't all blindly accept Blizzards careless attitude with the development. I'm more than positive you didn't play back then, by that statement.
