The Cataclysm Economy Report (Justice Points)

Several posts have hit the Internet that discuss the changes to the currency system in Cataclysm.  The first link discusses whether it makes sense to sell your emblems now or wait to exchange them for heirlooms.

WOW Head has added a emblems-to-justice-points update to their website.   Note that the changes will hit with Patch 4.0.1 instead of waiting until Cataclysm.

Cataclysm Talent Calculators

I noticed a lot of folks are searching for Cataclysm talent calculators this week.  I can recommend two:  MMO Champion's and WOW Head's.  Choose the one that works best for you as each site has a good reputation for solid information.  But remember, this is based on beta information.  Things can and will change.
