Following the Cisco CCIE Written 350-001 Blueprint is always your best bet. You'll notice that much of the material on the blueprint hasn't changed from the old exam, so you still need to know this material. The new stuff on the exam (MPLS, QoS, etc.) is also very important.
However, you don't know which questions you will get from the pool. I've talked to numerous people at EDS who said that they had very little MPLS or QoS and that their CCIE Written exam mostly covered the old material. Others have had exams that were loaded with MPLS and QoS. So, you really won't know what topics will be covered heavily on your exam until you take it! You really can't cut corners at this stage of your certification. You need to know it all so you are prepared for your CCIE Lab within 18 months!

I really have questions concerning MPLS, QoS, MultiCast, VoIP, and IPX. How much preparation into these areas should I spend? Are there any other areas where I should focus more than normal?
