Sounds like your pride took a hit, coming back to a bunch of new people who had cleared content without you and got the gear(and dps) to prove it. I'll be hard for awhile, but I'm sure you'll be back to being that helpful, entertaining person that you were before.
I went through something similar when I switched guilds nearly a year ago. I was well known in my first guild, which was an rping guild, and when I logged on nearly everyone would say hi to me, I loved talking to the others in the guild, and I was kind of the center of attention a lot(hence me being a tank xD I love it). When I switched to a raiding guild, I became just another person, no one really knew me or anything. But slowly, people learned my name(and how to say it right over vent :P), they learned that I was a good tank to run heroics with, and I proved that I was a damn good raiding paladin tank, too. Now I'm an officer, and many people say hi to me when I log on, I love talking to people, and I get to be the center of attention as tank and raid leader. So never fear! You'll regain your place. ^^
