Well I can't keep track of them all either; I try, but it's just too
complicated. But the major storylines that are easy enough to pick up
if you don't go out of your way to ignore them? They add a lot to it
IMO, even if Lewis chooses to avoid it entirely :-P 

Just for example, Siege of Orgrimmar. Tons of people on forums etc
were really excited to be fighting Garrosh. (And a lot were really sad
to kill Nazgrim, who we've done quests for during three expansions). I
don't think epics were the sole motivation in that excitement; most
comments were along the lines that people dislike him and want him
dead! Because the story has built him up to be a pretty nasty orc! I
don't think I'm in a "minority" to find that that added to the
interest in the raid...
