How do you think WOTLK is going to change multi-box progression?

Well.. As blizzard has already said, they will do the same in WotLK as they did in BC, make the early level greens about the same as the lowest level tier items available in the previous version of the game, making the first greens you get in Northrend T4 equivalent..

This is partially true. True blizzard has stated the new wotlk gear will quickly replace even the best BC gear (as you would expect going up 10 levels), but it will NOT be as drastic as BC was.

When BC came out, they made a drastic change to the amount of STA gear had. This made the lowest of greens replace the best gear quickly. This drastic change will NOT happen in WotLk (confirmed by blizzard). In there own words, "the gear will simply be better". So farming for gear is not as futile as it was with the release of BC. If you are in full T4 or S4, yes your gear will become outdated, but I see it as a very real possibily that you could level to 80 with it.

Of course, but my point was directed towards the gearing bit.. There's no need aiming for a lot of T4 ish gear if you're not yet 70, because you'll get good gear in the start of WotLK

For me the main goal is to get my alts (on my recently purchased other two accounts) to 70.

Levels don't become obsolete... (easier to obtain maybe, but not obsolete).

Um.. they also stated that there won't be at all of a drastic difference in gear from TBC to WotLK as there was in the Old World to TBC.

I would say there's not a lot of point to getting good gear if you're just doing it like work. If you're having fun slamming heroics/etc. then by all means, continue having fun. :D The only reason I'd try to gear up a bit would be to get some PVP gear so that PVP in the 70-73 areas won't be so painful for you (talking about PVP servers mostly here).

I'm of course going to play around in instances and heroics till Wotlk, but my main focus atm is getting myself ready with my utility characters and such in preparation for the xpac. I'm leveling up 3 teams atm pretty much simitaneously to have all my bases covered and at 70 ready to go rather than gearing up 1 team as much as I can just to have most of that gear replaced once I hit 73 or so.

This.

However, it does fill me with a little apprehension knowing that I'll eventally probably have 4 full team to level to 80 when you inculde the inevitable Deathknight team too.

I am leveling my shammies and gearing them out as fast as possible to beat WotLK's release for one reason and one reason only.

Same for me. Have 2 70's on one account and trying to get my 4 other accounts to 70. I have 2 of them at 55 right now and the other two just hit 30 today. I am hoping to get them to 35 by the weekend so I can boast them to 55 next week. Once I have the 4 at 55 I am just going to grind it out to 70 and hope it happens before the release.

Thinking about it as someone with multiple 70s on who dual boxes, If I wanted to 5 box I could just create a DK on main accounts(2), transfer one of my 70s over to a new account and then create a DK(3), then do the same thing with another new account(4). By the time I get the 4 DKs to 70 I can transfer on main over to my other new account and I got a 5 box, and there are 3 accounts I didn't have to level to 55 at all... very tempting.

hmmm... I wonder if transferring a 70 to a new account would unlock a DK.

I would say if that is your goal you might want to transfer them NOW before the release gets to close... but that is just a thought.

In other news... Don't know if 5 DK's is going to be they way to go.
