As I said, if you dislike it thats fair and all, but others want and like it and I would argue that BLU is not niche at this point. So many ppl are enjoying it, from HC raiders to casual players, so I guess it's a success?
I don't know if that's enough to make it a success. While people do run BLU content, it does not mean that it still has flaws and there's still a lot of negative feedback coming on the forums. They can't say "people played it thus enjoyed it", I guess it's more about the long run, achievement check, that kind of stuff. And BLU starts relying a bit too much on preexisting content rather than original creation (in my opinion at least) so it's getting its nice little spot in the cycle of patches like all content we've had since 3.X

There is some truth in what yukiiyuki says though. Essentially, we have very little original content content per expansion, but more of the same thing with a different wrapping. It's a safe route to get content in the patch cycle, but it can be underwhelming for players that have been around for a while.
Personally, I don't mind same iterations of stuff like Raids / Trials as long as the fights themselves are good enough to keep me entertained. But I'm pretty sure it would be the same if instead of Heaven on High and potentially the 5.3 deep dungeon we had some kind of expansion updates to the Palace of the Dead itself, adding level cap, new maps and new stuff there, same for the treasure map dungeons. And it could potentially add up on resource economy to focus on real new content... or actually improving on what already exists. The perfect example for me really is PotD and HoH. HoH does not improve anything on PotD at all.
