I'd tend to agree. There's just no possibility of a good emotional payoff in all of it. Both Buffy and Angel are characterized so horribly, how are we supposed to be severely emotionally affected by what happens to them? This is why I think there will be a 'wake up' moment similar to Angel waking up before being sent to Hell. That would parallel the first arc.
As for Angel, Jeanty has said for Angel fans to turn away from 39. Thing with that is, given my theory, I'm not sure what he can do unless it's to the Scoobs themselves. I don't see a reason for him to hurt them other than to try to kill them to remove Buffy's ties to the world and get her back to Twilight. Finish what he started. If he kills Dawn, he's done as a character. I mean, he pretty much is now but at least he can say he was duped to start.
