1) I am pretty sure servers will have caps. There really shouldn't be a time when a server is overrun. Maybe for a day or something until they get a new server up, but they say its very easy to do with new tech.
2) Thats what abilities like gate and teleport classes are for. I personally don't want to see fast travel of any kind.
3) Pantheon has already said there will be no instancing. No shards, no clones, no instances. The only exception they've stated would be for quest or story content.
4) Dynamic content could be great, to a point. At some point though, people will get annoyed if something they wanted to do no longer exists. Part of playing an MMORPG is exploring the world and learning how it works. If things begin to appear and disappear without notice, it can end up causing more frustration and time wasted than its worth. I guess if a player has no expectation of consistency, players may become used to it, but that could be a gamble.
