As a casual player, I liked the 7.1 story line. It was a nice bit of side adventure, learning more about Koana, Gulool Ja, and Zoraal Ja. The dungeon was fun and intense.
Wuk Lamat's presence was toned down slightly, making her feel more welcome in the party as part of it rather than the entirety of it, and the WoL being promoted again to chief problem solver as opposed to sidekick/mentor is something many people liked seeing.

The only nitpick I have is that Koana changed his opinion a little too quickly, they should've padded it a bit before the whole risky his life part.


All in all, I think it was fine. I think we'll be able to fully appreciate (or hate, depending on the outcome) the Dawntrail story once get to see the entire picture after the current story thread ends in 7.3 and we either start our proper non related adventure in 7.4 or even the setup for the next xpac in 7.5.
