The stats squish with 6.0.2.  My mage went from ~700k health to ~85k. :) 
  Blizzard is still fine-tuning many aspects of the game.  But you 
should be able to oneshot a lot of lowlevel mobs now.  Before 6.0.2 you 
still needed an experienced group to do complete ICC25HC.  Now you can 
solo it.  Et cetera.  I even soloed VoA25 for the ach (kill all bosses 
within 15 secs) a week ago.  Before 6.0.2 I couldnt solo even 10man if I 
went for the ach.
So the stats squish has given you much more damage to lowlevel mobs.  If 
you have managed to level your hunter to 90 you can see the difference 
in your damage when you attack a lvl85 doll or a lvl90 doll.  I easily 
do 500k dps on a lvl85 doll while I do 13-14k dps on a lvl90 doll. 
Thats how it works now.

Yes there is a way to port back to Longtown Steppes.  It depends on 
which step youre at on Thunder Isle.  You prolly have to click a sphere 
or portal somewhere at your base.

I know the feeling as I skipped Cata completely when 4.0 arrived in the 
LK exp.  So when I returned a week before Panda went live lots of 
changes were presented for me as well.  The best part was all the new 
flight points!
