Nice. A few of those are similar to ideas that have been bouncing around in my head.
Had the same idea about Rangers (and a few other classes) needing a pet, or at least a familiar type. Rangers should also get a Bind Sight spell for their pet, so they can see through its eyes at any time.
Each race and class should have much more self-identity, too, IMO. The various races and classes shouldn't feel like stamps of the same mold with a different paint job. Language and faction would be a much bigger deal than they ended up on Live, and basic gear and spells would be much more tailored to the race/class combo, like you've been thinking.
As far as class specs, I've been more leaning towards an offense spec and defense spec, with the ability to spec both and switch them as needed, though it would take twice as long to spec both up to max.
Fun stuff, coming up with ideas.
