Is there a list of Valor Items already? Are they even gonna add Valor Items, or are they keeping the Upgrade System instead?

There will not be any new Valor point gear related to SoO or Timeless Isle. Shado-Pan Assault gear will still cost Valor (reduced cost I believe) but Valor's main purpose is for upgrading SoO gear in 5.4. All sub-522 Valor gear in 5.3 will be purchased with Justice in 5.4.
Edit: I might be wrong about the item upgrade stuff as the PTR doesn't have item upgrades at this time. Seems strange to me though to not have anything to spend Valor on in 5.4.

I thought they said awhile back that upgrades would be staying in 5.4 from the start, regardless of their status on PTR atm.
I'm somewhat worried that I'll end up capping and nothing to do with valor. If you don't get lucky with drops the first couple weeks or somewhat slow on killing bosses when 5.4 comes out there will be nothing to use that valor on. My main set is fully upgraded and my off spec gear is only missing a few upgrades. Seems like a waste to buy Blood Spirits or 625 valor items to DE.
it's 496 gear. Some as normal TOES/HOF gear.

Meh I like having item upgrading be able day 1 of 5.4. Valor gear in ToT was overpriced and poorly itemized. Valor gear is also 100% useless once you can full clear Normal mode.
Terrible change if true. VP gear represents a real sense of progression for a casual player that doesn't waste time with organised raiding. They should be adding things for casuals and taking them away from the so-called 'hardcore' playerbase, not the other way around.
Paladin Bash has spoken.
If you're currently running T15 LFR and picking up Shado-Pan Assault 522's, then you should be well-enough equipped to hop into T16 Flex and beyond. Even T14-level gear for Justice, plus a few Valor upgrades here and there, should be plenty enough to dive you into T16 LFR.
I believe the timeless isle treasure chest gear along with the item to upgrade them is the new "casual" gearing path. Would think people would enjoy it a lot more then weekly valor capping.

uhm it will be super fun especially on high populated server - with 20 people camping every spawn point 24/7 -_- and it will be real camping not runing from one to another since they said the best chest will be in hard to get to places - so people will be just sitting there in packs waiitng for it to spawn -_- great fun indeed -_-

Tier 5 (5): This 'ultimate' chest, the Blazing Chest, is located in the western part of the Ordos Sanctuary and can be tricky to reach due to the large amount of high-level elites in the area. The chest contains a medium amount of Timeless Coins, a few epic tokens, and a guaranteed Burden of Eternity.
people wont give a fck about normal chest they will be hunting for this one or those better ones - and i dont belive they will have 5 minutes spawn timer -_-
idd, and those tokens are bound to account, so you can farm on 1 char who is a cloth user and send you plate item tokens to you dk, warrior or paladin and tokens are fairly ez to get as well. ofc you need a burden of eternity to upgrade those items to 535 and they can be found chests(100% chance from blazing chest, is only lotable once pr character), from a daily quest called Archiereus of Flame(atleast i think its a daily quest), from killing mobs, elites and rares and you can buy them for 50000 timeless coins.
