Furthermore, you could quite easily ignore reputations and dailies entirely, and just get all your loot from raids. Assuming you're not in a realm first or above guild, of course. Ilevel 463 gear is plenty to clear normal mode Mogu'shan Vaults, then you get loot from there over the next few weeks and are sufficiently geared for Heart of Fear/Terrace of Endless Springs when they unlock.
Sure, you need to do dailies to be optimal... But then, isn't that what players have wanted? A method of doing extra stuff, do MORE than the average player, in order to get better rewards?
Eh, I dunno. All I know is I really enjoy these dailies and am glad for the excuse to just gtfo from the main city of the expansion.
