Since only an extreme minority will ever be going back to do the old content, they can change class skills and roles around at will and design the new content to fit around these new classes.

If they still had to keep this old content in mind, these balance changes would become almost impossible. It would mean that either the balance changes have to fit the old play styles/end game model, or that they'd have to go back and re-do all of the old content to fit the new class balance changes. It's the reason why you never see dramatic class changes until a new expansion is released.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
