Is Valor Gear worth losing T12 Set bonus?

I don't know anything about your set but I'd say most likely it would be worth it.
But, with MoP coming out in the coming months you could just skip it and work on the next set when MoP comes out, though you can't roll the Valor into the next tier.
I suppose it comes down to what you plan to do in the short term and if you're hard pressed for gold or not (since that valor could be sold for gold or turn into gold when the next tier opens up).

If you've already got 2pc from T12, use it while running through LFR as tank. Just don't forget to spend your VP on the best in slot items first! (Neck, relic, cloak, and trinket), and then NEXT to best in slot (belt; boots aren't next BiS, but are very solid choice). Save your VP for these slots first.
By the way, Fire of the Deep isn't necessarily BiS, but it's exceptionally strong until you're nearly full heroic geared from DS.
Post a link to your toon, and I (or someone) will be glad to look over it.

I'm nearly fully heroic geared, and still using it. Amazing amount of mastery on that one slot. Of course, it would help if any trinkets would bloody drop >.>

Check out my ret snapshot below. Also, it's always hard to go from tier back down to dungeon/valor gear after patch. You've got this new personal mechanic that you've grown to love. But at some point the increased dps of the new items will outweigh the dps from the set bonus, so switching is the only option. If you are really hesitant about it, stock up on your new gear and try it out on the dummies every now and then and compare.

Yeah... like I said. Nearly fully heroic geared. ;P The only thing that can't be heroic pieces are weapon (unless you use HoM instead of SD) and the trinket. If all slots are the generally accepted BiS, then you can double stam trinket. Until then, though, FotD/MoBI/anyothertrinketbasicallywithCTC. Even when it's all BiS with double stam, I think raid/food buff it ends up coming to 102.36% or 102.37% ctc. Nothing to stress over though, really.

I've resigned myself to never seeing the Hardheart Ring or Indomitable Pride. I have some hope of getting the Blackheart belt, although I'm not sure how that will tie in to my block-capping.
Of course, it is all really just an academic exercise, as with the 20% debuff nothing should kill you anyway if you are geared appropriately and don't mess up cooldowns (I'm guilty of forgetting to ask for pain suppression for Impale 5 at Madness). Thus gearing more with your raid DPS contribution in mind is perhaps of more relevance. I'm picking up any tanking gear that drops that would be disenchanted and gemming and enchanting them with dps in mind (so expertise, hit, strength).
