I'm not particularly active in RP in WoW, but reading this article immediately made me think about the DK starting zone finishing quest at the end of the quest chain. Whether you're toon was with the Horde or the Alliance, that last quest that has you return to what used to be your capital city, now as an unhinged, undead knight that used to fight directly under Arthas's command--there was so much emphasis on that long walk, like climbing out of darkness, back into the light of honor and respect of your characters, once again, home city.

A situation that puts your character right into the chaos, smack dab in the middle of things--either way, no matter how the story plays out, you're bound to have a great time. That's what I look for--how key a role your character plays in the story. From the looks of things on the beta, Blizzard is really emphasizing that, and even moreso in Cataclysm.

P.S. - Epic dragon of death makes for a good storyline. Now if only they could make a name for the bad guy involving 'death' and some awesome physical aspect that the dragon would have...

...wait.
