Idk, the current content reveals we've seen thus far have all pointed very heavily towards "more of the same (except some of it is underwater!)". New raid, new 24-man raid, new jobs to level grind, new beast tribe to bore us to death with dailies...

I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised, but right now pretty much all the content we've been shown is content we've seen before. It's not unreasonable to assume that their purpose in the gearing hierarchy would be the same too.
