Agreeing with you 100% on this. The questline in Nagrand was SO well done and the characterization was SO much better than in Cata that I'm honestly a little sad when I go back and do the Nagrand quests again on my alts because it makes me feel responsible for Garrosh turning into a massive dickweed. If we hadn't introduced him to Thrall he might never have come to Azeroth and become a colossal asshole. He'd still be sitting in Nagrand being a whiner, but I honestly think that might have been better for everyone involved.
That being said, there are still glimmers of his old self in the new content. If you ever make a fresh hordie make sure to do the questline in Stonetalon. It will make you hate the Horde for a few minutes but Garrosh of all orcs shows up and makes you proud to be a part of it again. It actually feels kind of out of character for him because he's almost universally a jerk in the rest of the expansion, but for this one quest he seems to be kind of a nice guy, so I'm hoping we see more of this side of him in the future. He can be made to be an interesting character, the writers just have to get their heads out of their asses first. :(
