Older content is always scaled to the highest possible item level for that expansion when new content is released unless they have a stricter sync in place—so some SB content will probably scale down to i310 or i340 because they have that specific sync in place (some of the earlier level 70 dungeons come to mind here), but for things like the 24-mans and the trials/8-mans, they will scale to roughly i405 (Crystal Tower and ARR trials/raids scale to roughly i135 now, and the Mhach raids and HW trials/raids scale to roughly i275).
