You always get the big dick shouter groups, the tryhards, the arrogant bastards in any online game. You won't find that much until you start trying to be competitive - levelling zones for the most part will be their experience until they reach endgame - we plough through leveling as older players they probably won't so they will spend days if not weeks compared to us in hours. When they get to end level they will be in dungeons and LFR, you mostly will get carried because that's how it has gotten.
Personally, I always inspect dungeon players if they mess up to see any heirlooms or achievements and address them as a new player, I don't treat older players differently but I will say "Do you know this fight as a healer?" compared to "So you understand whats going on - would you like me to explain?".
