I'm going to counter that with 6.0 being the end to so many story threads that this initial portion of the expansion had to be narrative-rich to finish things off. I'm hoping this means they'll put more resources into other aspects of gameplay for the rest of the 6.X cycle while giving us some good set up MSQ tidbits going forward.

If you mean that they put too much emphasis on narrative on the whole, I'll need to disagree. The game's always been story-driven with the other things expected of MMOs being additional, if important, content. I don't believe we're seeing a death flag that's foreshadowing the beginning of the end of the game.
