A resounding YUP to all of this - I've disengaged as well; the only emotion SPN can really evoke in me anymore is frustration; it's not really even irritation anymore. I'd let myself get a bit fond of Anna mainly because I thought the show had forgotten about her...should've learned my lesson from Ellen & Jo.

As to everything else you say, oh, yes, I had the same thought before. SPN is an amazing explanation of why you cannot tell an epic story with 3 main chars (I'm thinking Sam & Dean and then Bobby and Cas as a 1/2 each :P) It locks those main chars into repeating patterns, and at the same time it focuses the audience's view so tightly that we don't get a sense of scale. Epic stories are about saving the world/universe, but Sam & Dean's universe is really really tiny, and we haven't been given much reason to care for the rest of it.

That's one of the reasons I like Castiel, because he's newer, and his relationships with Sam & Dean haven't been fixed yet - those bits of Castiel h/c, though not as extreme as what happened with the Winchesters even within the episode, were some of the most h/c I've enjoyed on SPN for seasons, because they were new and different. But yeah, him being friends with Sam was out of left field (easier to explain from the Dean/Cas perspective, really - "I can't let you kill my boyfriend's brother, I'll never get sex again!")
