Stockpile your Triumph and Frost emblems

There will no longer be badges of any kind, they are switching over to an entirely point based system (including buying tier pieces)

But the points are just another name for badges, there has always been a differentiation between what each type of badge can buy, OR will it be simply that the raid tier gear will not be avaialable for points until it is no longer the higher gear level and so giving raiders a gear advantage?

My guess is that a boss in a Cata heroic will give 10 JPs and raid bosses will give... more than that... and WotLK bosses will give 1 JP. That way there's an incentive to do the new content, but old content is still worth *something* also.

It makes sense, at least - they don't want you saving up all your points to instantly get fully geared when you hit 85, especially since you only killed level 80 bosses to get the points.
