They've mentioned that they feel that the 280% mounts are probably *too* good, so they'll almost certainly do something significantly different.
Frankly, I'm still hoping that they have a drastic change of heart and decide to disallow flying mounts altogether in Northrend. In spite of the infinitely small chance that this will happen.
