So gold buys you instance spots, heroic badge tokens, arena points, honor points, raid spots? Huh?

No. Gold buys you really fast flying mounts. Thats it in the end game.
Well, there is the roughly 10,000 gold in mats needed to gem/enchant 5 toons every arena season/full gear upgrade cycle, if you're into that.
