You were saying about Moffat having taken over the writing and this not meaning that he'd grown past the issues he has about what happened with Rose.
In fact, in spite of my other small laundry list of complaints about Moffat/why RTD was better, he actually hasn't done this, surprisingly.
I'm not gonna go into a long, spoilerific rant about this particular issue, in order not to bore you, push your Moffat!squick button, or to spoil you in case you do eventually give S5 a go, but I will say that if you look at Eleven's relationship with Amy you see definite responses that have to involve Eleven's feelings on Rose and that issue and I'd almost go so far as to say that a lot of the way Eleven treats Amy have to do with him missing Rose and not wanting to break someone else's heart(s) or his own, again.
ETA: Though I gotta wonder if this might actually be Matt Smith and Karen Gillan's influence, inasmuch as they have any, in character interpretation since Karen definitely liked Rose and all the RTD-companions and knew a fair bit about them and the fact that Matt Smith filmed with Billie Piper and knows about Doctor Who a fair bit, obviously. Because a lot of what I'm talking about is there in the lines but is there as much by what they say as how they say it...
