I've been giving this a lot of thought over the past day or two. With my DK+Ret group I can kill Ick/Krick and Garfrost in regular PoS 5 times per hour with a couple minutes leftover at the end. This comes out 10 emblems an hour and carries a very low risk of wipe--I can basically autopilot and do this while watching a movie etc.
The other option is random Heroics. If you estimate it at 30 minutes per instance you're going to be making 10-13 badges an hour on average. However, you can't just brute force all of them the same as you can with non-Heroics. One single wipe is probably going to make you the same speed as ICC farming. Also, what if you get an instance that you don't have on farm or just plain can't complete? I would dread getting HToC and then HoS one after the other :/ VH with the wrong bosses for your group maybe?
With all this in mind I'm really thinking that PoS farming is going to be the fastest, safest route to badge farming now. Thoughts?
If you have a dedicated healer in your group or are running 4 shaman + pally it is much faster to do heroics, but if you are doing pure melee teams like yours, then the method you are saying may be better.
