Well, from what I've seen, there is so MUCH to do, that you spend a lot more time doing it. As someone else mentioned, they've been "progressing" since TBC launched. For the majority of the raiding class (I realize, that means few folks here) there's always at least 2 instances they feel they 'should' be working on. There's no time to take a break and say "We got this guys, let's skip SSC this week."
Everyone wants to be in BT and/or Hyjal. So you push and push and push to master content faster so you can move to harder stuff faster. So you raid longer, and you raid more. In the end, you might just catch up in time for them to launch something new.
I like how WoW classic spaced it. You'd been farming for a bit before the next zone was released. You had a chance to really learn and enjoy a zone before 'blowing through it' for the next latest greatest.
Now, it's "Hurry and kill Vashj so we can get to Illidan!" I'm kind of in the same situation as the OP. Due to a change in work schedule and the time difference between my server and myself, I find myself not really able to raid. I can't go to any of the 'big' guilds, as I am at work when they start, and the folks I normally run with are, pretty much, falling apart.
I think that part of the problem is that the instances have so few bosses in them, as well. With the 40man instances (and Karazhan) there are very good "first night" stopping points. With the TBC instances, it feels like you SHOULD have them all down in one night, so you rush, making more mistakes, and costing more time.
