SWTOR: Return of the Druid

SWTOR: Level 50
When I find myself plagued by massive ADD in a game, it means one of two things. I am frustrated, or I am bored. For now, when it comes to endgame content, I'd say a mixture of both. Frustration because I'm not exactly sure what alt I would like to level next. Boredom because....well that word is synonymous with dailies. There is a silver lining in all this boredom. Most of my guild mates are finally hitting 50s, which means Flashpoints and Operations in the near future. Unfortunately, I should probably pay more attention to dailies because I could use the upgrades for said Flashpoints and Operations. I just wish they weren't so, same old same old.
Return to Azeroth
Yeah, I didn't stay away long. To be honest, I wasn't planning to, considering I have a  annual pass, so I might as well. Now, to be honest, I am only playing for one specific reason: mount and pet hunting. A lot of the World Events have new pets and mounts added, which has pulled me back in, as I strive to achieve 100 mounts and 150 pets. (I am extremely close to the mount goal, btw)
I had some laptop issues the other month, so WoW was wiped from my computer. Downloading it required an entire night. I still think I'm missing something. The only other thing I dread is the fact I need to reinstall and reconfigure all my addons. Consider it an obsession, but I love UI building. It's going to be a complete pain in the ass figuring out where my bars were, or what addons I was using, but I think once I take the time to do it, I'll enjoy it. The new major patch for SWTOR promises UI customization, and to be honest, I can't wait. I am so over the constrictive SWTOR UI.
Love is in the Air is the current World Event, which overlaps Lunar Festival which will wrap up this week. I forgot that Cataclysm has been out for over a year now, since the World Event boss is already up to date. It basically took us about 20 seconds to down all three bosses, which was by far the easiest boss ever. Unfortunately, the queue time as a healer was a bit longer than I liked.
Darkmoon Faire is also going on, so I'm chugging away at a Purple Tailstrider. Hopefully, that, coupled with the Pink Tailstrider for Love is in the Air will get me closer to my 100 mount goal.  
Coming back to WoW after playing SWTOR was kinda weird. I was using my BF's computer, so he had Vuhdo, which I used to heal the Chemical Co. Boss. I had a difficult time remembering which abilities I bound to which key/click, and I didn't really remember what kind of healing I needed to do. I am much more comfortable as a Consular Sage, so no bubbles, a insta-click AOE heal and hots where the name of the game. Luckily, not much healing was needed at all for the Chemical Co. Boss. Like I said, near insta-kill.
Looking towards Mists of Pandaria
The name of the game is Pandas and Pokemon war. Do I want to be on the Alliance side of all this? Absolutely not. So what do I do, since my main is not only on the Alliance side, but also on a PvP server, which I abhor as it is. Do I spend 55 dollars to move, but to where? Most of my friends list is made up of people who haven't been on in weeks or months. A couple have been days, but who knows if they'll be back on. Am I that attached to my druid that I need her when I move?
Probably not. The reality is that I left WoW because I was extremely unhappy with druids, among other things. We kept getting the short end of the stick, and it was frustrating hearing about new MoP things coming for classes, and being unexcited about any of mine. (Symbiosis has too little to be excited about, and the hybrid path is something I'd rather avoid.)
So the new thought is to reroll classes. Who would I like to play in MoP? Do I want to continue healing or is it time to just be a dpser? Do I want to restrict myself to only a few role options, or should I go as close to Hybrid as possible without being THE hybrid class? Where the hell do I roll anyways?
Why is this game such a pain in the ass? Why am I so indecisive?????
Why!?!?
