But if Icecrown gear isn't roughly equal or less than lvl 85 dungeon blues/purples then the lvl 85 entry raid is actually still Icecrown and there will be a bunch of lvl 85s running it for easy loot (those extra 5 talent points and the hit/defense/etc.. make a massive difference to many specs). This is not all bad since it means that those who never made it to IceCrown at lvl 80 will get to see it still. Or there is a whole group of raiders who completely skip the dungeons and possibly half the first raids? Or as you say is there going to be a much more severe gear inflation epidemic.
