About once a month, and certainly if you think you're having problems, you should completely drain your iPad's battery - drain it until it shuts down on its own - and then charge it back up to full. There could be a rogue process or something else doing what it shouldn't be doing, and a restart can often fix that. If you haven't rebooted in a while, give it a try. After some experimentation you'll find occasional and chronic offenders alike. If quitting Facebook stops your battery drain, quit Facebook. Some apps can also fail to sleep properly when not in use. Anything running all the time will drain battery. This is key for apps like VoIP (like Skype), streaming audio (like Pandora), or navigation (like TomTom).

The point is, it's almost impossible to realistically assess a change in battery life if you've also changed your usage pattern. Likewise, every app can multitask now, and while iOS is as smart as smart can be about managing how and when they all update, they're all updating. And every time you knock the live wallpapers around, stare at the parallax scrolling, fling away multitasking cards or Safari tabs, spin the compass, or do any one of a hundred other funtastic things, the screen will be lit up, the radios will fire, and the battery will drain. iOS 7, with its fancy physics engine, is also just plain fun.
