While they are probably looking in to adding as many of the small tweaks that are going in for 3.0, the larger changes are likely to be held up longer because of the balancing of encounters. There's little chance they are going to change the mechanics of shield blocking or severely reduce the amount of mana returned with VT, but the change to CoE will do nothing but benefit raiders. In 2.0, there was a change to the armor curve that people noticed when fighting Patchwerk (and my own guild noticed on Ossirian) as well as a decent change to hunter mechanics that significantly changed raiding but "had" to be implemented then. For this reason I would anticipate that Blizzard intends to release 3.0 at the same time the expansion is released.
As to what other things they might change before 3.0, I really haven't looked that much at the changes to comment effectively.
