It's just more content for hardcore players basically, because they weren't already growing fat from everything else Dawntrail gave them I guess.
If I understand correctly the new player bonus is more of a "first come, first served" bonus, people who cleared in a group of first timers got a big bonus since they were all new. But it's a per-new-player bonus and is actually pretty small so it doesn't really incentivize groups of players who cleared to go back and help a new player clear for the first time.
