Anyway, I found this thread on Mmo champ which shows how surprisingly DH's have a tier set in HFC, as well as a class trinket from archimonde which has placeholder stats at the moment. If this is the case, pre patch is going to be a ton more hectic with a ton of DH's in raid.
Here's the proof:
1. The conq token has DH on it (this is where we all knew DH would be since it was the last 3 class token)
2. The connection is not on wowhead yet between the token and the gear, most likely because no one has used the token to get the gear.
3. The connection between the token and the gear is in game though, when you look at bosses it shows you the correct pieces based off the slot they give you (manny chest, gore legs, etc)
4. It is not a new model, it is off piece models put together in a *set*
5. Currently (read: subjet to change) you can come out of the DH starting zone at around 681, 680 armor/jewelry/trinkets, 685 weapons though you can actually end up lower if you miss a rare/chest
6. The speed difference between 681 and 720+ is huge, you'll replace 680 gear immediately, 720+ will last to 105+, so it IS worth doing for those inclined.
7. For anyone curious here is the archi trinket: http://legion.wowhead.com/item=139630/e ... bonus=1799
8. You can't currently attempt to solo HFC as it is scaling you to 100 and 690 in norm
and finally (for now)

OH and bonus if people didn't know already, Gold cap is now 10 million gold in legion. Good luck finding stuff on the auction house for a reasonable price now.
