I think that, if you are just interested in the high lvl stuff. And don't need anything for another profession. Then you might as well just lvl in pandaria, but if you need other mats. Might as well gather them yourself instead of paying for it. And with this new system, prices on old world materials will rise even more.
Which in turn will likely make some farmers stay with the old materials to make a profit, and voila nothing really changed.
That's too bad, skinning is the worst to lvl of the 3. And would benefit the most from this new system.
