So actually, I was kinda surprised by the amount of gear you can get "without setting foot in a raid."
http://www.wowhead.com/?compare=45821:45834:46162:46166:45560:45551:40718:40722:40734:40547:40548:40683:40701:45076:41168
So there's tanking gear. Missing one ring and one trinket. The gear isn't half bad either. 2 piece T8.5 and 2 piece T7.5, just under hit cap, close to expertise cap (which would be put over by gems). Not that bad.
I mean, it's not optimal by any means, but would certainly get you by. In my opinion you'd be geared enough to do Ulduar 10 man (now whether you would have the ability is another question).
Now I didn't do the math on how many badges it would take, but it's A LOT. Just because you "can" run all 12 heroics every day doesn't mean it's actually feasible. It would still take quite a bit of time to get all the badges to get all the gear pieces.
I'm not mad about the change at all. Will give me reasons to run heroics and Naxx, and make gearing up alts easier. I'm not in fear of my raid slot. I'll still have better gear than other people.

Colosseum won't be introducing a new tier of gear AFAIK.
They haven't specifically said "Tier 9," but there will certainly be higher iLvL raid gear. They are starting the new arena season, with new higher gear, and they'd have to have upgraded PvE gear in the Colosseum. Based on how things are right now, I'd expect:
200: Heroics, 10 man T7
213: 25 Man T 7, 10 man KT/Maly
219: 10 man Ulduar
226: 25 man KT/Maly , 25 man Ulduar, 10 man Ulduar Hard Mode Armor
232: 10 man Ulduar Hard Mode Weapons
239: 25 man Ulduar Hard Mode Items
Expected Coloseum:
232: 10 man Coloseum Normal
239: 25 man Coloseum Normal
246: 10 man Coloseum Hard Mode
252: 25 man Coloseum Hard Mode
Funny, spelled out like this, 10 man Naxx should have really been iLvl 206 in order to differentiate from Heroics.

So there's tanking gear. Missing one ring and one trinket.
You don't have the BoE JC tanking ring,
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=42643
, and a Jewelcrafter could make
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=59759
, although that's BoP. The trinket might be a blue level 75, but the JC trinkets are usually better than several i200 epics.
Which means (if I've done this right) a Jewelcrafter could have
http://www.wowhead.com/?compare=45821:45834:46162:46166:45560:45551:40718:40722:40734:40547:40548:40683:40701:45076:41168
And a Non-Jewelcrafter could have
http://www.wowhead.com/?compare=45821:45834:46162:46166:45560:45551:40718:40722:40734:40547:40548:40683:40701:45076:41168
and they'd just be missing one trinket.
Edit: Either of these sets would cost thousands of gold and probably take months and months. So this gear is a little bit below the quality you'd get from raiding, will take longer to get, and will probably cost a lot more, unless you wipe constantly in raids, always raid with flasks/scrolls, and always supply fish feasts.

Add this trinket in instead of The Egg of Mortal Essence. The Egg has decent spell power, but the proc effect is absolutely useless to a non healer.

perhaps they do like in AQ a kind of 3 set gear or something. Then it is not t9 really but more of a side branch gear.
Do not see this as completly impossible and a possible way to solve this t9=ice crown gear.
That is just my 2 cents.

Exactly. Here is the gear an Enhancement Shaman can get just from running Heroics...
http://www.wowhead.com/?compare=45820;45827;45836;45844;46205;46212;40524;40721;40736;40746;40717;40322;40684;40704
555 total badges. From running every Heroic everyday (51 per day) for 11 days, you can get that set as well. Sure it is a grind but you'll be better geared than someone running Naxx or Ulduar 25 for a month.
That's spell hit capped, or close to it, without any enchants/gems whatsoever. That's pretty insane. :)

So it wont take too long until you wont need to bother running them again.
New epic gems.
BoE Epics.
Frozen Orbs/Runed Orbs.
Gold is always a reason to do things.
