Aren't the tier 8 sets going to be on the new Ulduar emblems?
The 10man (8.0) pieces and zone will be Emblem of Valor, the 25man (8.5) will be Emblems of Conquest.

All of the people selling 60emblem bracers now might be hurting themselves if using 8.0 items as placeholders for bonuses until they get 8.5 would be a net upgrade from their current gear.

Looking at some of the bonuses released already makes wearing set items seem like it may be appealing. I currently only wear 1 piece on my main (gloves) because the other pieces are all worse than non-set drops. My alt warrior I'll still try to keep 2pc bonus for +10% damage to Slam, but that's thrown out the window if 8.0 bonuses are amazing. Unfortunately though I only have about 25-30 Valor emblems on my alt because I've bought 2 cloaks, 2 rings, and tanking boots. My main still has about 130 emblems left over after buying 2 bracers for my alt and 2 to sell on the AH when they were going for 4-5k.

Man, rupture critting would be so hot vs plate. Too bad I'll never have it.... but I will have a DEADLY GLADIATOR FROSTWYRM RAAAAWR.
 
Blizzard: "We want to buff the DPS of Arms warriors, because it's horrible."

Blizzard's next move is to put a large amount of haste on our 4pc bonus DPS set and hose Slam's benefit to the 2h rotation even more, now that 2h weapons have been cut down in speed.

BRILLIANT !!
