There is some 550 gear in the pre-grind that may round a couple of slots 
out

http://www.wowhead.com/news=243610.4/guide-to-the-6-0-2-iron-horde-blasted-lands-and-ubrs-prelaunch-event

With the changes this feels like the prior upgrade changes.
Make them available for less, give more slots, then once they are burned 
up make them half price for limited random times.
Award boost, include professions, people go to some effort to get the 
professions, then make them not worth so much.

  I know it is a balance, give people things to do but not too much too 
quickly, just enough to think it counts :-)

For $15 or so (exchange rates) wow is available 23.5/7 on average. A 
little over 2 cents an hour. 10 cents an hour if you grind a few hours a 
day. It costs 20 cents an hour to run the computer to play the game at 
high graphics. 14 cents an hour to get internet.
It is very cheap to buy the gameplay, so why do I feel a little bit 
cheated by the changes?
  I think it is built in.
  What is given too cheaply comes to be expected, then demanded, and 
then taken.
