The current expert dungeons have an ilevel 80 requirement to enter. The new set have i90.

The min iLevel is 80, so at least that. And since they drop i90 gear, I'd say that somewhere 90 and 100 is more recommended for those dungeons (and completely doable). Even the new dungeons would only be designed for about i100-105, and not the 115+ that is the current average.

OFC if they were doing something about it this patch we wouldn't see it in the prelim notes.

They've omitted notes on the Relic quest from this because there is no additional Relic quest in 2.5, the next (final?) step in the quest is in 2.51.

I didn't see anyone mention it yet, but seems the main scenario will now require that you've actually beaten the Ifrit/Garuda/Titan HM trio to proceed.
While I doubt there's a lot of people that haven't cleared those yet, I can see some people complain about it...

New tools are coming too early. Supras are still very expensive, they should have left them BIS till 3.0. Adding new tools at this point is pure BS. I was expexting new suits and maybe some other piece, but tools?

Supra has been around since 2.3. Expensive as they may be across all servers, time wise it is appropriate for new tools. I assume we should be getting the crafting body also this patch.

It's the pony you get for having all the other ponies, I'm pretty sure.

could it be the summon just mount form? O:

I would be a lot more excited about the PVP changes if they'd remove the stupid GC restriction. It slows down queues and prevents you from playing with friends if they are in other GCs. It also promotes an atmosphere where one GC can dominate match after match after match, because it's the same set of players every match. Shuffling the teams up would keep it interesting.
