what it takes now, when 5.2 is out, to catch up regarding PvE gear - do you still need to do tons of dailies, or new reputations/crafting/whatever else lets you to skip daily quest grinding?
I stopped playing in early MoP mainly for that, so if I decide to come back, do I jump back to the same pit or there is another route?
E.g.: 5man -> 5manHC -> LFR tier1 (with enough drops each week) -> LFR tier2 -> LFR tier3
plus some "free" reputation/patch event rewards and some craftable pieces.
Am I right or there is no way to escape grinding daily quests?
P.S. I don't want to start an argue, which gearing-up model is better, just saying which is better for myself.
