Well, nothing too surprising there. The gear reset looks like it's more along the lines of Classic<-->BC rather than BC<--->Wrath, where lvl61 greens and quest rewards replaced Azerothian world epic drops.

For me, I'll continue farming Heroics because I enjoy gearing my Paladin team, and the Shaman team can wait until Cata to "pick up 10 herbs" for their ICC25-beating gear.
