AFAIK, no they won't be purchasable with EoV, but I'm not 100% sure and I don't play on the PTR. I don't think it will be purchasable with EoV since that way you could get T8 from doing Naxx25 and the other EZ-moad raids, while T8 is only supposed to be obtained from the much harder Ulduar.
I'm not so sure. I believe Ulduar will have tier 8 and tier 8.5 loot, similar to 10 and 25 Naxx, for 10 and 25 Ulduar.
We already know that Ulduar 10 bosses will drop EoV, and Ulduar 25 will drop EoC (Emblems of Conquest).
This leads me to believe that EoV
will be able to be used
to purchase tier 8 gear, while EoC will be for the tier 8.5 gear.
This is all pure speculation mind you. Only time will tell.

There's no sure way of knowing, but it stands to reason that you may be able to buy maybe some 10-man tier 8 pieces with emblems of valor. But that's only if the system will work like it does with tier 7 (where you can buy 2 of the 5 pieces with the appropriate emblems). Loot is far from fully implemented on the PTR.

It wouldn't make any sense since you can buy tier 7.5 with EoV.
I don't know, it depends which perspective you look at it from. If you look at it from the badge type perspective, it would make perfect sense. Since Ulduar 10 will drop the same badges as Naxx 25, the badges from either place would be usable for purchasing the same loot, which (if it works like with the two tier 7 sets) will include part of the set that drops in Ulduar 10 (tier 8).
But if you look at it from an item level perspective, maybe it doesn't make so much sense after all. Because emblems of valor can currently buy 25-man tier 7, which is item level 213, it would seem a bit weird if the same emblems could also be used for buying 10-man tier 8, which is item level 226. Who would waste their emblems on level 213 stuff when there is level 226 stuff available? So from that perspective, it might make more sense if the new emblem of conquest would be used for buying 10-man tier 8. That does, however, leave us without the ability to purchase any 25-man tier 8 pieces.
So after reconsidering, I really don't know what to say. It could be either way, logically speaking. Maybe I should just start camping the PTR and find out the easy way :P

Well from what I've read in blue posts T8 is only a slight upgrade from Naxx-25 loot.
Although I think we can safely assume better itemization and/or set bonuses.
The argument that free T8 going into Ulduar is definitely a valid one, but unless T8 2-set is amazing, i'm not ready to give up my 4 set from 7.5
Correct enough. Tier 8 seem to be itemlevel 219, while Tier 7,5 is itemlevel 213.
It would add a nice bonus for those who actually spend time raiding, and got a fair bit of EoV, while not giving an extreme advantage (an increase of 6 itemlevels is not really much).
I can't see why this shouldn't be done really.
