I think the one thing that writers forget is what makes Scott interesting. That is the fact that he has to be in complete control of himself. See, unlike Wolverine Scott can't let his emotions ever get the better of him.
If he loses his glasses or allow them to fall off, people die. He fails in a mission, people die. He leaves, it's likely that people die. That is the kind of responsibility that Scott has always had. However, even after all the pain he always came back to fight the good fight. This made him a pillar to the X-Men and was why they would usually follow him, despite their constant undermining. Because ultimately, even though they might have not always agreed with him or even liked him, Scott was always there for them and would always help.
As for the Post M-Day stuff. The thing that made him interesting was that this pillar of support was slipping. No one, not Xavier, not Erik, nor Ororo had dealt with something this massive. They were facing extinction, and he had to find a way to save as many people as he could. That was why he began to make morally questionable decisions. As he did so, his team questioned him and undermined him, but none of them ever offered a solution or help him because they figured, it was Scott and he would deal with it.
Then after all the other bullshit from Logan and killing Xavier, he was abandoned by his former friends who didn't want to look at the monster they made, which is probably why Storm didn't take charge in IvX as she wanted to avoid the responsibility she was beginning to see that Scott had.
This is what makes him interesting. That despite his boyscout image, there is a man desperate for comfort, which makes him make shitty choices, but will always try to do right
