Backflip is a company, they have staff and equipment that they need to pay for and they make all their money relating to DragonVale from in-app purchases. That means that giving out 100 gems (roughly $4) to every player (over 4,000,000 of them) is never ever going to happen.

It's also pretty unlikely that they will just give us several new rare dragons, too many rare dragons makes all rare dragons less special so at most they would give us 1 or possibly 2. We are much more likely to get extra hybrid dragons since we currently have no Lightning-Water hybrids or Lightning-Plant Hybrids and there are lots of 2 element combinations like Fire-Air which only have 1 dragon(Blazing) while others like Fire-Lightning have 2(Scorch & Firefly). And I could see backflip introducing between 1-5 new dragons(1-3 hybrids and 0-2 rares + possibly a new limited dragon for St. Patricks Day) in the next large update.
