re: Justice Points and You: Pre and Post 4.0

In order to get a jump start on level 85 gear, we're recommending getting to the Justice Point hard cap before the launch of Cataclysm.
How do you do this?
Well, pre-4.0, your emblems of triumph and emblems of frost will convert to Justice points at a rate of 11.58 JP per emblem. So keep farming heroics and raids!
Post-4.0, you will gain Justice Points just as you will in Cataclysm: Heroics and raids! Each heroic boss will award 16 JP, the daily heroic will award an additional 23 JP. Each raid boss will award 23 JP.
If you have 4000 JP when Cata launches, when you get to 85, you'll be able to purchase about 1.5 pieces of ilvl 346 gear before you even start running the new content's heroics! Why does this help you? Well, I figure we'll be replacing Wrath gear with quest rewards as we level, but you know how you always have that one stupid item that you can't find anything good to replace it with -- enter Justice Points!
This will be a huge boost to our raid as well, especially for those few members we have running around in 245s and 251s. Unlike Wrath, we won't be able to be successful raiding in our old content tier. Even the 277s aren't going to cut it. (So our raid leader won't be able to wear those T6 bracers until Ulduar *cough*)
Anywho, in light of all this, we'll most likely be organizing more raids, probably normal ToCs even, to get everyone up to the 4000 point cap! In the meantime, keep running those incredibly boring heroics! Woo!

Ya good idea. And btw Costs respective of heirloom items are going way up so if your missing any heirloom items I'd highly suggest you grind those out this weekend.
