So much more information I need and it's just not there yet. So I must wait.
We did get some piece of information regarding that, today:

As part of the new content, every skill tree will be expanding and you can expect significant updates. Players will earn a new skill point with each level, and new skills will be available in each skill tree. Additionally, a new active ability will be introduced for each Advanced Class. We'll have more details about many aspects of Rise of the Hutt Cartel as we approach launch, so keep your eyes on the website and dev tracker!
although of course it's still not much.

The million dollar question.
Don't even bother; you will never get a reasonable reply.

I'm actually OK with that.

While the talent trees will mainly be the same, there will be some tweaking and we will gain 5 more talent points and a new actively used skill and it seems they have no plans to revamp them entirely.


That I can live with for now and still know it could change before release.

Its just reveals, it never said anything about them being in the next content patch or that it would be free.

Let's see what the full feature-set is, but really it's not that much money!

Yes, you're right. The relevant dev tracker has already been cited in this thread several times. No one has cited any source that definitively promised Makeb as part of a "free" content update (meaning free to subscribers). They did say they were aiming for 2012, but I don't think anyone has provided the actual proof that they promised it would be released in 2012, they've only stated that the proof is out there. Well, if it's out there, find it, link it, and prove it.

As for saying they were aiming for Makeb in 2012, well...deadlines shift constantly in MMOs. /shrug. They've shown a good content patch rate the last 3 months. If they can keep it up, then I'll be very pleased. The previous content patch rate was absurdly slow. If they keep up the current rate, I'll readily forgive them missing 2012 release for Makeb.
