My mage is making good money selling portals.

For starters, they want to streamline the leveling:
1-57: hearth in your local city next to your questing hub, which has an AH and trainers.
58-68: hearth in Shatt, which now has an AH and trainers.
68-80: hearth in Dalaran, which now has an AH and trainers.
80-85: hearth in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, as they have portals to the new content.
Anything else, take a boat/zep or ask your friendly neighborhood mage.
And secondly, they don't want people staying bound in Dalaran (which had no impact from the expansion) just to use the portal system.
Personally, I like it.

Do they have new level 80 content portals in SW now?

They will as of tomorrow, once you have opened up a content area by doing a number of quests in that area you can portal there.

Is the AH going into Shatt when Cata goes live? I couldn't find an AH in Shat last night.

I'm kind of sad that they removed the travel hubs, but then, my mage is loving the business too. Glad I have a decently high level mage on my Alliance server - my first 60 in classic, now 70 and growing.

Check inside the banks. They are where the guild banks used to be on the sides.

This was actually really annoying at first. Now I've realized how much they weren't needed

The guild bank is on the left side when you walk into the bank, and the 2 auctioneers (one for horde, one for alliance, side by side) are on the right. There is one on the south side for scryers, and one on the north side for aldor. Same set up, if I recall correctly.

It is quite amusing watching all the folks in game rage over the removal but I am sure Mages are loving it. Easy to tell all the folks that never played Vanilla as they have zero clue about flight paths, zeppelin, and boat routes. Have seen some funny stuff since they removed them:
LF port from Org to TB.
LF port from Org to UC.
LF port from Silvermoon to UC.
LF port from (a few different locations) to UC. <-- This was from a DK!
