There is a rumor on cw about the 7DII being full frame. They base this on previews of upcoming books. What is the probability that this is confirmed???
7DII will definitely be full frame. But, that's not the big surprise. Canon will introduce not one, but two DSLRs this month with the second being the new 1DXII medium format body. But, the new line of medium format MEOS lenses won't be available until next fall.

Maybe 7D was supposed to be full frame initially. Canon's flagship APS-C bodies were x0D bodies, notably 40D, 50D, and now 70D. Was anyone else surprised that Canon used the xD naming for the 7D in 2009?
Yes, its a stupid rumor...
But... there is also a rumor stating that they were never going to call it 7DII... some other new name.
In essence if that was the case, then a FF is a possibility... but then again it wouldn't be replacement for the 7D, either.
Yeah, DPAF has definite speed advantages over standard phase detect AF for DSLR's, and that big mirror and shutter blocking out the light to the sensor where DPAF is situated at the time of acquiring focus doesn't matter at all :
