Assuming you're mostly heroic dungeon geared or worse:
1. Save your valor. The new raid faction (Shado-Pan Assault) has a 522 ilvl neck that can be purchased for 1250 Valor and no reputation requirement. A Ring, Trinket and Bracer are available at Friendly but given that reputation from trash caps at 2999/3000 Neutral, you must kill a boss to get to Friendly which probably won't happen until LFR comes out.
2. All 5.0 (489)/5.1 (496)Valor gear is being discounted by 50%/25% in cost. Also, the new daily faction will be treated as a 5.1 faction in terms of its cost. This faction will also sell a 476 belt for 300 gold before faction discounts (Honored?).
3. All 5.0/5.1 normal raids will be reduced in difficulty by a 10% overall nerf to the content. This will make it easier to acquire gear from MSV/HoF/ToES. Not sure this will apply to Heroics.
4. All 5.0/5.1 LFR bosses will have increased chance to drop loot from both the boss kill and from an Elder Charm of Good Fortune. As such you're better off saving coins for 5.2 assuming you only use coins in LFR. If you roll on Sha of Anger, Galleon, or any normal T14 raid boss then go ahead and use coins now.
5. If you can handle the trash to the first boss in ToT you may want to organize trash runs as several 522 ilvl weapons are trash drops.
6. Worst comes to worst: 5.2 honor gear is 476 item level and itemized for PvE equal to LFR MSV gear.
