Can someone explain the new badges?

I understand so far Heroism badges won't drop anymore.

That there are new badges in the new 5man/10/25man.

My question is, is the 5man different from the 10/25?

I know the 5man is of the champion, and the others are of the crusader.

Do the same badges drop throughout all of them?

Lastly, what can you get with them? T8 etc?

Trial of the Champion is the 5-player Crusaders' Coliseum dungeon. On normal mode this dungeon will reward no emblems or Champion's Seals. Heroic mode will reward one Emblem of Conquest and one Champion's Seal for each boss killed.

Trial of the Crusader is the 10- and 25-player normal mode raid dungeon. It will reward Emblems of Triumph.

Trial of the Grand Crusader is the Heroic version of the 10- and 25-player raid dungeon. At least one player in the raid must have completed Trial of the Crusader to unlock Trial of the Grand Crusader for the raid. It will reward Emblems of Triumph.

Each week following the patch one boss will be unlocked in the raid dungeon. So this week only one boss will be available; after next Tuesday's maintenance two bosses will be available, and so on.

The raid dungeon will have four separate raid lockouts (10-player, 10-player Heroic, 25-player, 25-player Heroic).

Q u o t e:
Anymore info on all of this that I may not know?

Just clarifying, 1 new raid, 1 new instance?

All heroics drop conquest, both dailies give triumph?

All Heroic dungeons and raids released prior to 3.2 now drop Emblems of Conquest. The Heroic dungeon daily quest will award two Emblems of Triumph. The normal dungeon daily quest will award one Emblem of Conquest.

Q u o t e:

What I'm curious about is, whether the heroic bosses get unlocked gradually as well? I understand Heroic mode is essentially locked until week 5 because you need to kill the final boss on Normal before you can activate it, but will all of Heroic mode be available then, or are the heroic bosses coming weeks 6 through 10?

No, all of the Heroic bosses will be available once you're able to access Trial of the Grand Crusader (the Heroic 10- and 25-player Crusaders' Coliseum dungeon).
