Sorry, but I don't think they will ever come out with another class (and so story line)... They have stated that although it made the game unique and awesome it was way too much work, way to costly, time consuming and they have even stated several times in public forums that while the new future expansions will have class arcs in the sense that the dialog may be skewed to each class slightly they will never be adding completely new class specific story lines (or finishing the existing ones - unless its a shared arc by all). This is why Makeb was the way it was, oricon as well and that will be the status quo go forward sadly. Don't shoot the messenger... I'd love to see this happen and think they are forgetting about what made the game click for many of us.
The faction change idea is possible but still has many complications... its already possible to unlock any species for any faction, since they are mirrored classes it would not be hard to simply flick the switch... but the storly lines could present a problem... unless they unimersfully stated - if you do this you will not understand where your story line came from, how it got there and why its going where its going (if it goes anywhere)... Then they'd have to turn off all the class missions on low planets... companions would have to just magically switch, datacrons specific to faction (incl. planets like hutta - imp only) would have to be removed... there are a lot of little things to think about with that (achievements, space combat) - that said, although possible I am against this... hated it in WOW and don't like here even more... World PVP is already watered down... now I see a jedi walking around fleet and I'm like "hey dude." - not for me... if you have a jugg and want a knight, roll a new toon... enjoy the story.
Personally I'd just like them to focus on building more end game, keep it going... I was really dissapointed to find out the new flashpoint doesn't count for the weekly quest that is "do 3 HM FP's" quest for elite coms... the fact they spent time on a flashpoint no one at end game needs or will see unless they are leveling an alt is a bit dissapointing. For me I already have completed all 8 stories... and I have all my "main" 55 toons that I want (my healing sorc, my jug tank, sniper DPS and Pyro PVP toons)... I *might* level another toon someday... but right now I have lots of stuff to do with those 4... I have one of everyhthing if I want to switch it up... and since I have seen all the stories... I may never step foot in this new flashpoint... unless I do it just to see it... but I'll never *need* it... to design 3 new end bosses (ending has 3 possibilities) and I'm not sure but possibly several different mid level bosses... to me they could have made it all a little tougher and created a new operation for end game. I'm not sure why a new leveling dungeon was needed or wanted - I seemed to always be eligable for a FP when leveling.
