I actually just did last night and it got me wondering.
I took a break from BFA for about 5 weeks now, pretty much done the content on several characters, always nice to have a break before the next expansion.
I think shadowlands will be much improved, or at least thats what everyone whos played the beta are saying. Pre patch came out earlier this week, but there isnt really much to do asides from learning your new ability and get used to the number squish.

BFA is the worst expansion by far.
Shadowlands walks on a thin line. On one side there's a potential for a great expansion but on the other side there's a chance of everything blowing up since Blizzard (Activision) is trying everything to fuck it up completely. Absolutely horrible to implement so many new systems such as covenant abilities, soulbinds and so many legendaries at once. It's literally impossible to balance and difference after the first raid tier are going to be 20-30% between different picks (covenant/soulbinds). Theorycrafting is just laughing out loud at the moment since numbers are insane. It's gonna stay like that unless they decide to nerf everything to the ground until everything becomes irrelevant. However, there are tons of good stuff. Classes seem quite great, especially some reworks like shadow priest. It's great they added back old abilities that identify with the class. It's also great that legendary items won't be rng and hopeless as they were in Legion, they seem horrible now but apparently they will buff them. Dungs and first raid seem great too. I just wish they added another talent raw instead of adding so many pointless system to the game. Another great thing added is that torghast tower which seems to hold great potential as a rogue like game within the game itself. But overall I like the idea of number squish and pacing the game down with limited aoe stacks.

Corruption was fucking horrible. Twilight Devastation, however, was great seeing it wipe off mobs. But it's still a horrible system when you see a total RNG of getting, going through a total RNG of procs, to see it do 30-60% overall dmg. It just incredibly stupid. I personally enjoyed TW and reaping flames, but it was still a stupid thing, but satisfying visually. Also, there should have been a vendor for it right from the beginning and not 1.5 years later, but even then Blizzard managed to fuck it up by giving it on a rotation period which, yet again, made zero sense. Having essences was/is also very retarded, just like the pointless leveling of the neck because grinding was required throughout the expansion. BFA made it impossible to have an alt and Shadowlands seems total opposite of it luckily.
I was stacking 12% crit corruption on my hunter the whole time 
but then again I was generally doing mythic dungeon keys once I was doing with raids which were better than relying on procs from TD or others. I stopped to take a break when I had hit the corruption cap on the cloak. Even now in pre patch theres nothing much to do, so I won't be diving right in it to get used to the number squish till a release date for shadowlands comes out.

I'm so glad.
