My thoughts exactly. Let's tally up what he's done since the "revival" (in quotes so I don't trigger a certain sunny girl):


 * 1) Appeared during Rukia vs. Äs Nödt to give her moral support (which she probably could've achieved on her own if he were dead and thus providing avenging motivation or whatnot)
 * 2) Showed up during the big showdown with the Sternritter, then took out three off-screen (although at least two of them survived anyway, so there goes his whole speech from the beginning of the arc about cutting down the Quincy with full power)
 * 3) "Fought" PePe and acted like a complete dunce while doing so ("Oh no, my Zanpakuto was hit by The Love and Hisagi's being controlled, better throw it away and hold him off with Hakuda instead of restraining him with Kido"), had to be saved by zombies
 * 4) Reacted to the Auswählen, whoop de doo
 * 5) Accompanied everyone else to the Royal Realm
 * 6) Started fighting Gerard and got him pretty good, although it was ultimately ineffective due to The Miracle
 * 7) Made a plan to take Gerard down but failed because he wasn't sneaky enough

That's about 0 points in favor of him post-survival, so he hasn't really done anything justifying the waste of his beautifully written death scene. gj, fangirls who sent death threats to Kubo on twitter, you really accomplished greatness here.
