Huh, am actually pretty tempted...
I got off the WoW train months ago, since Cataclysm, while fun in the single player, was one of the more grindy raid experiences I had ever had (reminded me of the bad old days of Vanilla a little too much). If I want to go back to grinding an MMO, I'm turning my EvE Online sub back on.
However, with the announcement of Mists of Panderia, I'm thinking to dive back in. Panderia sounds like they're actually adding some really big PvE content zones (which were my favorite parts about Cata). They're re-working talents again into something less complicated, which was another thing I really liked about Cata (what's the point of complicated point systems when everyone has the same build anyways?). And they're adding Pandarens, which I have wanted to play since WoW was announced back in 2001.
So new xpac, basically yes.
And then there's this annual pass concept. Since up for WoW for a year, get Diablo 3 for free, and various bonus stuff for WoW and beta access to MoP. Pointless if you don't intend to play WoW, but with D3 taken into account I'd be essentially paying $8/month to log into WoW 2-3 times a month for 3-4 hours a pop, which is pretty far from bad. Plus, the last content patch of each Xpac has tended to be pretty good since vanilla.
Need to think about that, but it's very tempting.

Plus, do you have to buy Mists of Panderia as an expansion, or is it just new patch/download content? And do you have to have Cataclysm for the Panda expansion to work? I never bought Cata. So though I was tempted, because D3 YAAAAAAY, the offer sounded like a much more expensive proposition than it appeared.
Do you know how long the sale is running?
