Season 4 certainly suffered the most as far as trying to cram the whole main cast in  nearly every episode, but the writing team seems to have gotten much better at focusing on unique pairs such Rarity and Pinkie, or Twilight and Fluttershy.

Not sure if this would be my favorite Spike episode either (Secret of my Excess is my personal fave), but It's in the top five for sure. Much better than his poor Season 5 ep.
