Going off of this, I think it'll be safe to assume that rares that drop "of the" stats on them will be BiS because of the 1 extra primary stat. Then it'll be the random BoE greens from Bloodmyst isle (Ghostlands prolly is very similar to drops, I just haven't tested Ghostlands) then you'll fill the rest of the gear like trinkets, neck etc with Party Sync Gear.
Class Changes
Hunter - https://shadowlands.wowhead.com/spell=56641/steady-shot
I believe Hunter is the only class that actually has a different spell starting off with.
