In The Temple of Two Somethings we discuss that thing… and that other thing.
What would we have done to make the Theramore scenario more interesting, a Success story that doesn’t involve macros, as well as a lengthy round table about our 3 different experiences going into Mists of Pandaria launch

I found the levelling experience very grindy but fun at the same time. I noticed that the difficulty of the mobs had increased quite dramatically from when I had played through the beta. By about Kun-lai Summit it was difficult to take down 3-4 mobs at a time. In Dread Wastes you could cleave two mobs down slowly, but if you pulled 3 you were history. I had to really make use Predatory Swiftness, a bit of practise for DoC.
I also found that I started to find upgrades earlier than what I did on the beta. I think Blizz has done some tweaking to extend the during of the levelling to 90.

Just listening along to Ep14. You were discussing the heroic requirement and that your on character ilvl and in bag ilvl (being higher) were different, and the random heroic came back with another number, yet when you equipped the elite trinket that was useless to you you could suddenly queue for heroics.
My suggestion that the logic behind it would be allowed into heroics would be a preference system.
If you qualify with your on char, then you are allowed in.
If your don’t qualify with your on char, then it averages your on char ilvl with your in bag ilvl. If this reaches the required quota, then your in.
If neither of these are requirements are met, then you cannot get in.
eg
on char 438 ilvl, in bag 441 ilvl. Must have 440 ilvl or above to get in.
First Requirement: 438 on char not eligible, check second requirement.
Second requirement: Average on char with in bag (438+441/2) = 439.5. Not eligible.
Swap the trinket, and your on char ilvl becomes 441. Meets first requirement. Your in.
Average of on char and in bag = 439.5 not eligible still for second requirement, but thats alright, the first requirement was met so your still in.
I hope that makes sense…. 🙂
