A question for both of you: Are you using minis?
My group does, and it seems to fix a lot of perceived issues.
The WFRP2e game I play in does (we have played though Paths of the Damned and Doomstones).
I didn't when running Thousand Thrones as I wanted a different feel.
Both games were great, though combat ran quicker in the later, mostly as a lot less fights were to the total annihilation of one side.
