You can't buy any Cataclysm gear until you're 85, and you can't farm WotLK once you're 81.
Um...pretty sure you can; up to 75 the BC heroics are available in the drop down.

So that means the best you can do to, in your words, "farm lvl 80 dungeons for lvl 85 gear" would be to cap it at 4000 JP before you hit 81.
I doubt you could get anywhere near than that from 80-81 anyways...so what is your point?
By lowering the amount gained, they've made it so people won't be farming old content for new gear. Sure people
can
still do it, but it's counterproductive.

What's the point about talking about level 85 gear related to Heirlooms?
The current Heirlooms are level 80 and aren't supposed to scale past 80.
As for Cost; pre-patch if i recall correctly the most expensive were the 2H axes for 95 Emblems of Heroism.
Even if you figure all emblems are the same, that means the most expensive BoAs should cost no more than the Tier 10 Helms and chests, or 1100 Justice Points.
The only reason I can figure why they're higher, is a Glitch, or Blizzard wants to intentionally make them harder to get, or Blizzard wants more people to work on finishing the Tournament.
Blizzard doesn't want them to cost nothing at 85. I believe that point has been made half a dozen times already.

My point is that it would be very easy for them to have heirlooms appropriately priced for this interim period between Cata and WotLK, and then jack up the price to meet Cata JP gain.
You mean by like.. not introducing the new currency that's useless right now? That would make too much sense.

I actually bought my T10 chest for my elemental set last night.
I figure my other options would be to save up for heirloom gear that I can buy at 85, to level other characters, or buy gems for gold (which I'll earn anyhow). Neither one really sounded great to me, so I bought something I could use now, and which will hopefully last me a few levels into the new expansion.
Even when we hit 85, JP won't be useful for new tier gear; that level of gear will be purchased with Valor points, which we can't earn yet.

Which brings me back to it being useless. You could've done without the chest and I'm not insulting you, but the expansion greens will most likely replace your purples, and the blues will definitely.
They put it in hoping people would blow their stash after not buying it before the patch. That is all.

Not if the gear stays the way it is in beta. They're trying very hard to make tier gear less easily replaced by more common gear. For example, my roommate stopped raiding around Ulduar but had some gear from there, and he did not replace any of it until he hit level 83 in the beta.
Again, that could change, but they've stated repeatedly that they want tier gear to carry over further in Cata than it did in BC or WotLK.
But ultimately, I agree - it is mostly useless. I wanted it for the looks, because the chest piece that I had for my ele set clashes aesthetically with the T10 shoulders.

If enough people did it and Cataclysm heroics are that harder than WotLK ones, yes.
Personally, if things were at cost, I most definitely would run just LK heroics from 80-81. As it is though, it's not worth it.What, really? You do know that the only items that Justice Points will buy you at the start of Cata will be the equivelent of iLevel 200 blues now, right?
They're going back to the days of classic when blue gear actually meant something, and epics were amazing and truly powerful.
The first tier set was all blue, second was half blue, half epic (after it was patched in, anyway), and the third was from MC,
terribly
itemized, and the first epic set normally obtained in the game.
