but you need to be gear with tier 7 before you enter tier 8, and same for tier 9. Incorrect. You
can
skip Tier 7 and 8 and go straight to Tier 9 if you manage to find a group willing to carry you through Tier 9 content (IE:
This sort
of thing
), but finding that sort of group is unlikely.
In addition, thanks to Patch 3.2, a lot of freshly-dinged 80's decide to skip Tier 7, as
these emblems
will drop off of any boss in any heroic 5man instance, allowing you to buy Tier 8 stuff right off the bat if you save enough of them. No raiding necessary.
So yeah, I'd recommend doing lots and lots of heroics (As well as normal
ToC
early on to get some starter epics) to jump-start your level 80 PvE experience.

Everyone gets an emblem.
They drop from every boss encounter, not just the end boss.
You cannot collect them before level 80. The
daily dungeon
quests might be an exception to this, but I'm not sure.
You can run each heroic once per day. So you can run Heroic Nexus once per day, and Heroic Utgarde Keep once per day, and so on. And yes, you'd still get an emblem from every boss.
As for required gear for heroics... Well, theoretically, you should be able to get into heroics using gear from the higher-level regular-mode 5man instances, but you never know with meanies that may or may not unfairly judge you on your gear.

These two
sell gear equivalent to Tier 8 (including tier tokens) that you buy with the emblems, while
these two
will redeem your tier tokens for actual Tier 8 gear.

You only buy 2 with tokens. The others are from Emalon in VoA or Ulduar.

Don't always go for a tier item over non-tier set items.
The
Emblem of Conquest
rewards are item level 219, similar to drops in Ulduar 10 and ToC Heroic.
For example;
Emblem reward
has higher stats than
T7
.
Best in slot items don't have to be part of a Tier set.

The
Emblem of Conquest
rewards are item level 226, similar to drops in Ulduar 25. Fixed. Heck, even the item you linked was ilvl226.
But yeah, Patty's right. Being a part of an actual tier item set doesn't make any item automatically OMFGLEETSAUCEROFL, so you can afford to skip out here and there.
