Actually I was wondering who would get top billing now that Bean is gone?
Peter Dinklage because of his Emmy and Globe?

Lena Headey was probably the most well known, so maybe her.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Michelle Fairly both had the top billing after Sean Bean and Mark Addy at some points in the first season so I could see them keeping the order as is and letting them rise to the top. Its an ensemble show after all.

Stannis, Mel, Samwell, Davos, Tywin, Asha, Brienne, Aeron Damphair(?)
I was about to mention Tywin! He's much more important this season, so I'd be surprised if his name didn't appear in the opening credits.
I think Lena Heady, Michelle Fairley or Peter Dinklage will have top billing.

I think Peter Dinklage will keep his "and" thingy.
I agree with everyone else that Stephen Dillane, Liam Cunningham and Carice van Houten will almost certainly be regulars, probably Gwendoline Christie too.
Now, as for Gethin Anthony - if they wanted him to be a regular they probably would have made him one in season one already. He appeared in a majority of the episodes (just as Viserys) but he was always just a guest star. So I think he'll stay just that.
As for whose name will go first in the opening credits, that's a really difficult one. I don't think that any of the regulars are getting new contracts anytime soon, so they'll probably just stick to whoever went first after Sean Bean (can't remember who that was) or one of the new regulars, who has a better contract than the old ones, will go first. Stephen Dillane and Liam Cunningham are both pretty well known, so it wouldn't surprise me if one of them went first.

Stannis and Davos from Dragonstone, Renly and perhaps Loras (the already gave him more scenes in season 1) for Storms End, Tywin Lannister (he is a very important character in book 2 and 3) and maybe Samwell and Lord Mormont for the Nightwatch
