When starting Mists of Pandaria the biggest grind was obtaining revered with the Golden Lotus faction. It was a long grind of finishing dailies. After finishing the first set if you had a high enough reputation you could go to the next set. Ultimately reaching revered and unlocking other quest hubs for Shado-pan and August Cestials.
Patch 5.3 unlocked the necessity to have revered reputation with Golden Lotus to have access to new quest areas. With 5.4 the Vale of Eternal Blossoms gets a complete remake. Assuming you call a place that looks like it was blown up with an atom bomb a remake.
The Golden Lotus after patch 5.4 is going to be an old school's reputation beat down. Elite mobs giving you 200 reputation. Lesser mobs only give you 5 rep per kill. But fear not for there are a lot of mobs to kill in the area.
You also have access to the daily farmer order if you have leveled your farm high enough to have access. Also there are random mobs that drop tokens that will give you rep. Don't forget to also pick up your Grand Commendation of the Golden Lotus to increase your reputation grinding.
But don't forget to try your hardest to hit exalted before patch 5.4. The achievement http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=7315/eternally-in-the-vale will not be available after patch 5.4 drops. And many players are already going to be farming this area for the new Profession patterns. So there will be a lot of players running around this area killing things that it might become frustrating to get that last couple of mobs to become awesome with The GL Corps (yes, I said it.).
The patterns are even useful for selling to alternates as well as personal use. Also remember that with patch 5.4 much of the gear that was available for valor points will now be sold for Justice Points. This will put a huge boost on newly minted 90 players getting them into raiding that much faster.
Lots of exciting changes are just around the corner with patch 5.4. Now is the time to push through the boredom and get your lineup set for the last phase of Mists of Pandaria. Working smarter and not harder is the key to being the best gold goblin you can be.
Good Luck and Good Hunting
