Its still fun reading about it sometimes but I dont get all excited like I used to wanting to replicate their achievements.
I take breaks from WOW pretty often. Right now I'd say that I'm on a cycle where I start playing again and play pretty frequently, then it tapers off and after a while I stop playing. Then I cancel for a few months and start over again. Games like this encourage regular (daily) play and since it's often repetitive, it's easy to burn out on it.
So yeah, take a break and the game will still be there if/when you are ready to return.
Try something else out.
After I stopped playing WoW, I went on continue my education in Social Sciences with Neuro Linguistic Programming, and it was a great change of pace.
Do something you've never done before. Tell that disinterested voice preventing you from trying new things to shut the fuck up.
Have fun, at least WoW's not consuming all your time anymore!
Personally, I enjoy playing wow, and even enjoy more when i do boxing. I always change my play styles: power leveling, questing, Battle Ground farming, new pet collecting, instancing & gear farming, raid pugging, ally ganking (cough~~).... that is how I've got my 40 level 80, and I am still moving forward to get another 5 lv80 soon. Do whatever you like the most, don't make it as a "job" to you and you have to repeat it daily (yes, that is why I hate Dailies so bad :) )
If you find any other better things to do than wowing/boxing, go for it. Just like others said, do whatever you enjoy the most. But one thing for sure, you can't easily find so many helpful people/boxers from other places. Just my two coppers. :)
I like the PC ness lolQuote:

Not surprised. You strike me as the type of person that needs a goal to reach and you push everything else aside to reach that goal, once you're there and the high wears off your not sure what to do next.
At least thats how it comes across by the way you post and how much you've achieved in only a few months.
If you take even a small break for a couple weeks you will feel refreshed. WoW can be very much like a job. Its something you do on a very regular basis. You simple just need a holiday from the same kind of fun and you need to find something else to do.
I tried single boxing, but one bad day in PuGs ruined that. All it takes is that one tank/healer that feels like they are god and you are their loyal subject. So damn annoying to have a tank with less health than your dps tell you the right way to play your class. Noone wants to disagree for fear of pissing the tank off and getting vote kicked. I have one character I run daily in pugs and it's fucking painfull.
Multi-box ICC it's pretty fun :P
I also get the burnout feeling from time to time and what I do is I just stop playing for a few days. Or I go do some PVE since I mostly PVP. This week was so bored of PVP-ing that I went through the effort to make a 10 main raid to do the weekly quest. It worked out nicely. I think I'm going to start raiding but I will have to make a set of PVE gear because I haven't known anything but PVP until now.
In my opinion, us boxers feel powerful for a while when we take down everything so easily with 5+ chars, but what happens over time is you start isolating yourself too much since you no longer need to rely on other people to achieve goals. But eventually that makes us feel too lonely and burned out because after all humans are social beings no matter how antisocial a person is.
So I'm thinking to either start a guild or join a PVE guild and start rading with one toon, but only like once a week or something. I want to get back into the social aspect of the game, which you can't get in PVP-only guilds.
Or I'm going to park a paladin and bring another player with me in daily heroics or something. Anything that gets me to connect with other people.
