I agree that the writing has not been nearly as good Sorkin left. The dialougue doesn't seem to flow like it used to and I feel the writers don't have a thorough understanding of where they are headed.
I miss the days of Sorkin and Seborn. My favorite example of the awesome writing was the episode in which after starting at the White House, Ainsley Hayes gets the cold shoulder from the senior staff, especially Sam. However, when a dead plant and a note that only says "Bitch" on it turns up on her desk, Sam rushes over and schools the offenders by writing your fired on a piece of paper and says something to the effect of "When I have something to say, I have the courage of signing my name to it". Just a truly well developed episode and insight onto these characters.
That right there is what is missing. The stories are good, but I really don't care for the characters in the same way I once did.
