Some highlights:

Rashere on AA changes: "I plan to get a post up on the live forums within the next couple of days discussing the planned changes that are going in along with this expansion, including the AA changes. Specific to the AA changes, if you're at level 70 you shouldn't notice much change but lower level players will gain AAs at a faster rate than they have in the past."

Ngreth on TSS spells:"You will be able to get any spell that you can buy in the original EQ, Plane of Knowledge, and Serpent Spine itself. Additionally you will be able to get any spell that you can make using spell research. The Serpent's Spine will add LDoN and OoW spells to spell research."

Prathun on raids and pets: "I've got several abilities and spells planned for the upcoming expansion that should help address pet survivability in raid situations. Each pet class will have access to one or more spells that can help their pet live through otherwise fatal AEs and attacks, and mages are due for upgrades to their pet toys."

Rhagnell on the expansion claim item: "It is a scepter that will teleport you to Crescent Reach (the home of the Drakkin) once a day."

Brannoc on endurance regen: "The upcoming downtime changes should address the extensive amount of wait associated with regenerating a full bar of endurance." Prathun: "By resting for a few minutes between combat, you can restore your entire supply and be ready to go again. We're not planning on adding endurance regeneration to items."
