I know that feeling well, fortunately I was on the beta so did my
learning there with my priest but it took ages before I stopped
bashing 5 for Shadow Word: Death... I still miss that spell! On the
flipside some of my beta keybind changes grew on me so fast I had to
do them on live even before the patch :-)

There's very few actual quests there but tons to explore, treasure all
over the place is pretty fun :-)

Yeah, I find the most fun parts are the completist things too, so
since that doesn't work well for you with RL, you've got the best
approach. You can have some fun trying old raids out if you have some
free time by the end of your week, anyway - assuming you never did
them at the time, it's a whole new form of exploration! Wrath 10-mans
should be mostly fine even with low gear, I think, TBC raids certainly
will be soloable for you :-)
