Make the division great again!

I have a question. I really loved the concept of this game.

I pre-ordered it, and spent around 3 weeks simply playing The Division and eat, shit, sleep. Then I ran into the end-game, and things became too much of a grind. Summer break from college was a good excuse for me to take a step away from the game. Plus, I really want this game to be able to patch/update, and sooner or later become a much more polished product. (Kind of like how D3 did. I played the hell out of it. It was broken. I uninstalled. Read some very good reviews about the patches a couple years later, and went back for Reaper of Souls. Then took another long break, and binged again.)

So, while absent-mindedly watching Twitch, I noticed that TheDivision stream was up. Curious to see what changed, I went on and heard bits and pieces about Update 1.4 and Elite Task Force.

So here's my question. Has enough changed since launch for me to dive back in and get the hang of the game in prep for Update 1.4? Or am I better off waiting, because from a very quick glance at the threads here, it seems that there are gonna be some sweeping changes.
