OoW is a good expansion if you enjoy being challenged. However, some zones are a bit annoying to get to especially if you play a class that can't turn invisible without a potion, vanishing device, etc. My cleric is level 70 (max level now) but dying in a new zone, such as Muramite Proving Grounds, is awful because of all the zones you have to cross to get there & with mobs that sometimes see invisible. Needless to say corpse runs can be very time consuming in some of these zones. There are easier zones to get to that are still rewarding. It isn't very difficult to gain experience quickly and nice gear in these new zones even if you aren't level 65+.

The new epics are nice. However, it is unlikely that you will be able to obtain yours unless you're in a raiding guild or have lots of friends in high places that will help you.

You can now obtain an extra spell slot, which I think is great. New AAs have been added, some powerful spells, they've increased the amount of buffs you can have on at one time, added voice macros that allow you to send voice messages (in tells, group, or raid) asking for assistance, telling others to wait, attack, etc. The voice macros are not really important, but still fun to mess with when you're bored. If you're a risk taker and enjoy challenging situations then you will probably enjoy Omens of War.
