Are these, https://www.wowhead.com/item=11608/dark-iron-pulverizer , with the 8 second stun, going to everywhere in a week? Wasn't super fun when Fury warrs were rocking them during the crusader patch

Doesn't really matter when you're getting stun locked by fury warrs and blasted by locks with spellfire set and 26 sp flasks for 3k. if you get a pop that is

Long ago, when ‘the F2P bracket’ (20-24s popped, 29s rarely so) used to be 20-24 and 20s had like a 10 to 30% or more miss chance against 24s, that also further motivated solo F2Ps to go hunter or other FOTM classes, especially when hunters had a lower miss chance vs higher levels than other classes (since their attacks weren’t affected by dodge until a much later expansion).
This new change (F2Ps/Vets merged to xpoff 20-29), when BiS 29s become a more consistent presence in bgs, imho may motivate more solo F2Ps/vets to go with more FOTM classes to ‘have more of a chance’ (if BiS 29s become too strong relative to BiS 20s, though time may tell), or may opt to not queue and enjoy the much larger and more accessible PvE world outside battlegrounds.
Although many or most have rolled FOTMs already before this change, so the above idea is moot anyways.
At least F2Ps have PvE routes for their BiS gems (a grind for sure, but at least a deterministic, little RNG to deal with grind) and classes that can buy good gems for marks of honor can do those PvE routes as an alternative if marks of honor become trickier to farm due to 29s (time will tell if that actually becomes the case).
If history is any guide, xpoff 20-29s will pop with reasonable queue times. Queue times back then were around 5 to 30 or more minutes (and varied by time of day). Time will tell of course.

Does spellfire matter when Balefire exists?
Hopefully the queues still pop or the change is reverted, will be a shame to see casual twinking die again

It's 7% int. At 29 you'll have around 300 probably. Might be even more.

Grandfathered
Had a few BG's pop earlier, somehow removing levelers from the BG's made the quality worse
Well yeah now without levelers its just ppl playing hunter rofl.

Not so much the hunters... just the really really bad F2P's, I guess they used to hide in epic BG's or something
