I think you just used Angular at the wrong place. For a content based site, Angular was just not the right choice. I've made similar decision on a content site which I did in BackboneJS and totally feel your pain. I've had exactly the same problems you mentioned. Server side generated stuff would've been just great here or on the project I did!
