They're staying on Draenor
So once Legion drops you won't have to do them?

Hopefully, yes. They are currently so lucrative sources of gold income that you pretty much have to sit on them every day. I really hope they remove all gold-rewarding missions and the like in Legion.
Garrisons were an immensely unpopular part of WoD so I suspect it will end up being the case.
Was it unpopular? I rather enjoyed it. For a little while.

I think that 'for a little while' thing is key. People thought it was cool at first, but Garrisons were omnipresent in everything you did, increasingly so as patches continued to come.
It also hampered the social aspect as people increasingly sat in their own private instance rather than a common city.
I might come back (again) for Legion just to see how the changes to my beloved Rogues turn out.

I played a ton up to and thru WotLK. I played to 90 in MoP but dropped it right after hitting cap with only one character because meh, didn't like the setting. Came back to Warlords and really enjoyed leveling my character to 100. But then the game was boring again for me. In this case I did more stuff around after hitting 100 and I like the setting more than MoP but the game feels isolated with Garrisons. So I'll come back again for Legion and we'll see how it goes. I'll be happy just to be back on Azeroth.

Looks like they're finally driving a stake through fistweaving. It'd been getting less and less effective due to changes by Blizzard. And now its being completely removed.
the Alliance, led by Greymane and some Admiral that appeared previously, attacks the Forsaken fleet. Truly a great decision by them, attacking potential allies against the Legion

Spoiler:
Given that the Forsaken didn't much care about potential allies when they decided to attack the Worgen and drive the Alliance out of Hillsbrad, I'm perfectly fine with this. It's about time the Alliance were actually shown standing up to the Horde instead of being all "we just want to be friends..." and acting all morally superior.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

They were ordered to do that.
Attacking the Forsaken in the face of a massive demonic invasion just seems rather... counterproductive, especially now that there's a new Warchief...

Spoiler:
While Garrosh knew about the attack on Gilneas, I don't remember any indications that Sylvanas was ordered to launch the attack, as opposed to merely deciding to do so and gaining the approval of the Warchief at the time. Also, she was explicitly ordered *not* to use the chemical weapons created by the Apothecaries' Guild, but did anyway. And Hillsbrad wasn't attacked on the Warchief's orders. It was destroyed during a questline in Vanilla, back when Thrall was still in charge.

Say what you will about some of their game design decisions, but Blizzard knows how to make some pretty stuff.
Sadly, I've resubbed and pre-orderd Legion - despite my soul screaming that I don't. I've seen some of the artifact questline stuff and I'm pretty stoked.

Despite having pre-ordered Legion months ago, I've still not managed to find it in myself to actually log back on. Besides seeing how DHs play, which would take about 5 minutes, I can't see a reason to do so until the actual Legion release.

Not bothered about invasions, scenarios don't interest me, toys are utterly pointless and anything available now will likely be outclassed by whatever I find a few hours into the DLC--collecting them for the sake of having them doesn't interest me.
