Technically a druid with PVP gear is best tank on 25 man thorim since you don't have to tank switch.

The new raid instance drops new badge type (triumph) plus the heroic dailys give the badge (weird), plus a new arena season implies a new tier of PVE gear. Its probably ilevel 239 to 252.

It is going to be weird though, every person can basically be in full ilevel 226 within 2 weeks just by running heroics and getting some crafted stuff (only thing I guess you wont have is a weapon? I'm sure the new 5 man will solve that though). I guess its an easy way for Blizzard to equalize new players so a person can join and contribute quickly without having to backtrack through old stuff.

I wonder if there will be any reason at all to run ulduar after the patch on mains. I also wonder how fast guilds are going to figure out that its not even worth running ulduar 25 anymore really (unless you 2 hour clear it I suppose), since you'll probably be able to farm coliseum-25/10-hard a few weeks then do coliseum-25-hard with the farmed gear.
