Although WoW is a gigantic game, some players are just going to voraciously devour whatever content we can throw at them. There are certainly a lot of different ways to play the game that you can experiment with if you do get bored. I would suggest things like trade skills, achievements or completing all of the quests you might have skipped. Collect some offspec gear and try a different role (in PvP or PvE). Rerolling can also be a lot of fun. If you're just burned out, it's also not the worst thing in the world to try out some other games -- the past couple of years has been great for them. Just check back in with WoW every now and then. :)
One of my buddies is in a hard core raiding guild and is whining about having nothing to do.
I play a few other games too; Oblivion and Morrowind are still favorites along with Halo, Gears of War, COD, and Mass Effect...
However, these days my daughter has taken over my Xbox 360. I've bought kiddy games for her and the gaming Xbox is now in her room. ::) She plays a few times weekly.
chick gamers rock.
