I have seen no changes in probabilities. See the discussion thread on the question of the use of rubbarn tools. Small numbers of crafting actions (and yes 100 is a small number) have a high probability of falling away from the averages. (Yes, that's probability of probability... it gets confusing). However, over a 2,000 to 3,000 trials (still a small number as those who work in the field count things) it should come pretty close to what is shown in the preview window. At least it has for me.
Jola -- I did a series of data collections back when I was leveling my jewels (about 6-8 mo. ago) and found the same results (with, be it said, the same expectation of great xp). You get maximum reward only for complete success and that is capped at 300 xp/mat. When I mentioned this, I was directed to a website with the formula I had derived, derived at least a year before. (Memory fails, but I think it was Kalyndra who had done it.)
I have not noticed my tools wearing out any faster recently.
