I have an idea how to return faded glory to instances like Naxxramas an Ulduar. I belive i am not the only one who thinks that this two instances make Wotlk to be Wotlk.
IDEA: A simple rule which just don't allow you to enter to this two instances (and all mentined gear will be banned to wearing inside) with any piece of gear obtained in:
For Ulduar: ICC, ToC, ToCH, FoS, PoS, HoL, RS, VoA (Koralon, Toravon)
For Naxx: UD, VoA (Emalon), + same as UD
Naxx and UD was designed for this equipment so i belive it start be popular. There is no harm on this change (my opininon) becuse nobody enter here with full icc gear. I belive that achievemnts from this instance will be enough motivation for the start. Anyway i dont see a problem in unification of Hero - Conqueror - Frost emblems with this kind of rules. So if you are UD raider - more emblems for you becouse you will not able to simple farm it with higher ICC gear. So the system for emblems will be slightly simplified into to type : Instance Emblems (Frost - Conquer - Heroic) whih can be turn into Frost only. And dungeon Emblems from RHC.
I remind that Naxx and UD is dead for now and people goes there only for few achievements and mounts which are pretty easy farmable with high gear.
if people willing wnat to raid those with lower tier gear they are free to, warmane won't put a custom restriction on them, just like they won't do it with bg's.
so basically forcing people to use tier-appropriate armor? mmmmm... only if there were vendors inside selling that armor with a "naxx bound" tag like Tempest Keep: The Eye's legendaries... plus that would always MUST have to be entirely completely OPTIONAL... you can't expect all pugs to have same standards of class skill and tactic knowledge as top end raiding guilds
Blizzard never planed his games for nostalgic players. If they bring new patch, they throw a support for later ones. So its understable that UD and Naxx is unplayable even in wotlk with ICC instance.
I dont see a harm with this kind forcing becouse its just dead. Hovewer, simple solution could be "heroic mode". Heroic mode = gear conditions = emblem allowed. Fully optional.
There is a vendors for this eq allready in Dalaran. The only thing you have to do is to change the emblem system.
I saw on another server where you had to have the achievement for completing the previous tier before you could move to the next.
That would be one option to keep things lively.

Ok, I'll do it once on each character, but then I won't ever return to them again. How lively is that? Well, might work for a month or two for pug runs, but afterwards they'll be inactive once again. And for those who come in later? Will be very hard to progress...
this would never work here, an average Icecrown player is like the "go guy" from wowcrendor's machinima, he wants to get everything done ASAP - clear ICC, get BiS gear, then sit in Dala all day. progression? **** that
trust me, they'd rather quit than do Naxx and Uldu for attunements and Icecrown would soon end up like Lordaeron
I've cleared Naxx on molten many times with many guilds and they all had enough after just one raid, once my raid leader whispered me being like "this is such a pain in the ***" and it trurly is... 15 bosses and each has like 2 spells xD
