So we have a little info already about Heroes of the Feywild. The most interesting is the first Dual-Role class. It was mentioned in the latest D&D Podcast. What do you all think?

It's fairly likely the Dual role class will morph from a defensive role (defender/leader) to striker, presumably after his encounter powers are spent or something.

Yeah exactly, the fact that they mentioned that the role change would hasten up the end of an encounter has Striker written all over it. Why not controller to start, though? As the encounter progresses, the attacks go from spread out and low damage (like a Wizard) to concentrated heavy fire (like a Sorcerer).
The better question is what mechanics are going to make the end half of the encounter more "risky", as mentioned in the podcast.

Losing a defender/leader is more risky than losing a Controller :P

I just can't see losing a defender towards the end of an ecounter as being overly risky. Losing a leader would be far more risky in my opinion.

Will we get new races (I'm predicting yes), and what would they be? We already have elves in three different flavors, gnomes, and wilden.

I'm going to have to agree with Mike Mearls on the concept of dual role classes.
I know there was some talk of trying to make hybrid character classes that span two roles, but in playtests and looking at it, it was just a switch that let you go “OK, now you’re a controller”, flip a switch, and now you’re a striker.
At some level you’re just going to be worse than someone else filling those two roles. You don’t want to be a controller that’s sometimes a crappy striker.
We don’t really need to make multi-role characters
:P
