If you want to get back into the game, it's a very good time to do so. If you scan any forum you'll no doubt see a bunch of whining about badge loot and how faceroll TOC is, but what it means for someone returning the game after a break is that it IS possible to gear back up pretty quickly. If you find a guild (or return to) a guild that is prepared to help you gear up, you can very quickly do so by running TOC10 (normal+hard) and TOC25 (normal). Within a very short space of time, you can be rolling in a mix of ilvl 232/245 gear. If you put in some time and cash, you can boost that still further with craftables. I've watched a player in our guild returning from a break go from greens/blues to raid ready in a matter of weeks (albeit with some pretty sick luck with weapon drops), and another couple of players do exactly the same with alts.
Without the support of a guild, it'd be harder. Badges alone will take a long time, so to get there quickly you'd want to be pugging. I don't do pugs, and pugs change quite a lot from server to server, so YMMV.
