No. There's no way a raider will hit 8 and get enough gear in 2 weeks to be performing at a T9 level. The 2pc T8 stuff is 116 EoC for example... that's not 'a couple of heroics' and a naxx run. And Naxx/Ulduar may or may not drop the gear that toon needs.

What the EoC change is for are people who are already geared in Naxx-10 stuff, maybe some Ulduar stuff... they can, with 2-4 weeks of Naxx/Ulduar/Heroic farming add 2-4 new pieces and credibly be in T9 content. A new to 80 player won't move from quest greens to T9 in less than a few weeks - they have 14 slots most of which need to be *at least* Naxx level stuff. Put another way, if you can do T9 in half blues, it will be too easy.
