It's pretty common for interest to ebb and flow. I'm pretty maxxed out in ToC25 and some ToGC25 gear now, so it's kind of hard to keep dragging myself to raids. I do it because I'm not a selfish person, and there are still other people who need the gear, and we are still refining our encounters, and still working on Anub25Hard.
It happens in every tier though. The new exciting raid opens, you pound it hard for 6-10 weeks. You progress, work on hard modes, see a bunch of new gear that a lot of different people want. But once you are in the same instance for 2 or 3 months, it gets boring.
For us, we were still working on 25-man Freya+3 and Firefighter when ToC first started opening. Once it was fully open and we got access to ToGC we completely dropped Ulduar from our raid schedule. We were just so sick of running Ulduar non-stop for 5 months that we called it quits.
Icecrown will be soon, and a bunch of new changes with 3.3 will bring some of the excitement back.
By the way, if you are stuck on gear-grind issues, that's just something you need to try and get over. This game by its very nature is a gear-grind game. Do X thing to get Y piece of gear, so you can get into this next instance, where you need to kill X boss to get the new Y piece of gear in order to do the following instance. If you get hung up on this concept, then maybe you do need to find a different game. However, good luck finding something different. I think the vast majority of MMO-style games are a gear-grind model. It's rare to find a character development model. I used to play a game that had a level 100 cap, it took week(s) to gain 1 level, but every time you gained a level you gained new stat points (classic strength, dexterity, reflexes, constitution, charisma style) and new "training points" (+1 edged weapons, +1 stealth, +1 armor use, etc). But like I said, good luck finding a game like this; or if you'd even want to play a level-grind game.
Anyway, not sure what kind of response you are looking for by posting here.

First, I can completely see where you're coming from, I think every raider/player at some point has this,
everything feeling like *same @#$%, different day* I especially have this in Wotlk.
Second, I always find new things to do, PvP, making an alt to pvp (low level pvp is more fun imo) or level in any case, always thought about making a warrior, locking the xp at 60 and do vanilla raiding.
if all that doesn't work, I take a break, and that can last from 2 days to 2 weeks.
catching up on different games like Brütal Legend, but as you can see, here I am again ;)
in the end it comes down to trying new things in the enormous possibility's that wow has to offer, making alts with your GF was good advice, but its fun using your creativity :)

Take a break, it helped me.
Also, maybe make an alt on a server that has old school raiding guils for lvl 60, 70 only w/e. Raiding old school is fun and to make sure you don't hit 61 ot 71 you can pay for blocking exp gain.

If the games no longer enjoyable for you, you could quit. Radical idea, I know.

heh I know how you feel, I found a solution (it works for me). I just go level up another character :-\ until I just feel like I need to go one shot something I hop on the main.

I take breaks from wow every once in a while, that and I love alts. My main can make enough gold so I don't worry about gold when leveling alts. I get tired of playing one toon so leveling alts is my way to go. Currently I have on the server I started this year level 80 druid and 77 DK. Once my DK got his ilevel200 tanking and dps set I'm planning on leveling heirloom shammy. As weird as it sounds I love leveling

I wholeheartedly agree with the alt idea. Do something radically different that'll challenge your brain.
My main is a pally tank that I enjoy, but I was really getting burned out on the same old "wow, wipes because of retarded <insert reason here>", so I decided to roll a priest alt; most fun I've had since I started playing the game.
Of course, after awhile I burned out on that too, so now I have an 80 DK, my 80 paladin, an 80 mage, a 74 priest, a 72 hunter, a 48 druid, a 30 warrior and various level 20-ish toons.
Become an altoholic - you'll never get bored. :)

I am actually rather offended by your generalisation of the Wowhead community. Thats like saying because you went to Google you are addicted to the internet.
If you do not find the game amusing any more. Good bye. No need to drag it out through a post.
