This is the part where the game becomes very seasonal for some. You can either engage in the currency grind to deck your character our in gear, do normal raids, do savage raids, do ex trials, work on beast tribe dailies if you like them, etc...

Or you can peace out until EW. I usually do that a few weeks after a patch drops and i've done everything to death, personally.

The game is somewhat designed in a way that if you just decide to peace out for a while, you won't really have that much or any catching up to do when you return.
