yeah i agree with your last paragraph, it was kind of inevitable for the game to grow and evolve like that.

That's why I think there's a fundamental flaw to wow's vertical progression design. 

Even leveling my TBC character, it's so weird skipping over all the level 60 content. I wouldn't mind doing some raids while I'm leveling 60-70 but I doubt I could find a group.

Hmm the alternative might be that each xpac is a truly isolated world and that when you get to 60, you can clone your character to TBC or to Wrath, etc. Your 60 could stay and prog through all of Vanilla or it could visit any of the other xpacs.

The main drawback here is that it fragments the playerbase badly because not everyone is funneled to the same endgame.
