What are you doing with your Emblems of Triumph?

All,
So I started looking at the Tier9 loot, and as I am sure you all know by now, there is not just a T9, but there are actually 3 different levels of T9. I like to plan ahead, and I had some questions regarding this T9 business.
Are people calling it T9, T9.33, T9.66? Or T9, T9.25, T9.5? How do I refer to these different levels without sounding like an idiot?
Heroic no longer means 25man, instead, heroic means hard mode? Is that right? So, there is a 10-man instance and a 10-man heroic instance. Inside each of these, are there hard-mode fights?
From what I have read, the different tiers are available through:
Highest: obtained by turning in tokens ([item]Regalia of the Grand Protector[/item] for Shaman) .. and these tokens are no longer slot specific
Middle: obtained through [item]Trophy of the Crusade[/item] + [item]Emblem of Triumph[/item]
Lowest: obtained through [item]Emblem of Triumph[/item]
Now for the question, which mobs drop the tokens? Are those heroic, 25man bosses only that we are not likely to kill in a REALLY long time?
Which mobs drop the trophies? Regular 25man bosses and 10man heroic bosses?
The lowest tier set (all 5 pieces) costs: 50 (head) + 30 (shoulders) + 50 (chest) + 50 (legs) + 30 (hands) = 210 Emblems
The middle tier set (all 5 pieces) costs: 5 trophies and 75+50+75+75+50= 325 Emblems
Are people holding onto their Emblems in order to save for the middle tier set or are people going to spend their emblems on the lowest tier set, then re-buy the middle tier upgrades at a later time. 325 emblems sounds like a lot of emblems to use on throw-away set.
Now I'm just thinking out loud ...
If we down 3 bosses in ToC each week, that would be 9 emblems. If you did the daily 4 days a week, that would be 8 more emblems, So, maybe a moderate person could get ~17 emblems a week, which means you could get a new tier 9 (lowest level) every ~3 weeks or so. That would work out to a full set in ~15 weeks, so 4 months or less.
Now, if you hold out for the middle tier, you would get a new piece every 4-5 weeks, but this also assumes that we have enough trophies to go around, which we won't all of the time.
I was just curious what other people were planning on doing.
