So I did two things during the trial.
I signed in my Ice/Empathy controller who had her pet power (Jack Frost) and slowly plowed my way through a mission. It was boring, but that character really is better in a group. Jack Frost is nice to have around, and with Hasten I could have two of him up for a little while. But he doesnt do that much damage either.
I signed in my original Fire/Fire blaster. One thing I always needed to do was respec because I didn't have Stamina and had silly powers like Maneuvers (as a blaster). And Fly. So I respeced to a sensible Fire/Fire build with super speed and stamina, bought up all new enhancements for my slots, and finally she pwned pretty hard. I did one mission and tore through it.
In both cases I was less than satisfied in my accomplishments. At the end of the mission I didn't really gain anything. I had some influence but I already had an unspendable amount of influence. I earned some xp, but what more is there to look forward to? I already had my core power sets, so a level is fairly meaningless.
I think I just confirmed my previous conclusion that it is a fun game, but lacks longevity.
