Yes and yes. Pretty much required.

Flex will be for alts and for any OP trinks.
Blizz... can you tell me again why 10 and 25 man modes needed a shared lock out?
Not sure if I'm a "hardcore progression raider", sitting at 8/13 right now, but I'd run it "every week" until it got to the point where I wouldn't consider the time investment worth it anymore; around some point where the potential upgrades are only a few single-didgit ilvl upgrades.
I'd probably keep running it on my alts, though.
"Quack, quack, Mr. Bond."
I don't see why they can't just stop you from getting loot on one difficultly if you have already killed the boss on another, really cba running everything each week !

Probably - mainly because the stuff in there from what I've seen will likely be upgrades compared to stuff in heroic ToT. Between tier, trinkets, and certain off pieces. Personally I think blizz is just putting such a high item lvl on the gear there so people will run it, which I think is silly, as heroic raiders should not have to go to beginner modes the next tier, something like a 532 item level would've been much more reasonable for the stuff that drops in there.
yes for the first few weeks to fill int he gaps form normal and heroic SoO. Then after that its unlikely until we want to do achievements.
It's just blizz being blizz, GC did say something about how guys that do hard modes, how they shouldn't need to do beginner stuff next tier and then they pretty much go back on that statement. They do stuff like this I think just so flex mode will look more successful then it is - they did the same with LFR and I think blizz has seen this is starting to backfire, people don't want to re-run rehashed raids just because they are the only place that will give them upgrades.
Can't wait for the "LFM Flex SoO, must have 540+ ilvl and Ahead of the Curve: Garrosh" on OpenRaid.
Do I need the gear to improve my heroic raiding performance? If no, no (not on main). If yes, yes. This will be the answer of almost any hardcore raider.
