Do we really need to do dailies everyday?

Now that I'm revered with golden lotus, I start thinking this. The point is, if we do dailies EVERYDAY to raise our reps with various factions, we simply can never have enough VPs to buy all the available rep items.
I didn't do all the math and research, but I've been doing almost all the dailies everyday ever since I hit 90 2 weeks ago and capping my VP every week. Now I have only 500 VPs at hand, while unbought available rep items (including those from golden lotus, honored klaxxi, honored shadopan) for only my main spec would cost me about 5000 VPs, which means that would be 5 weeks away, aka 35 days.
I'm a LW and I believe to buy my advanced recipes I only need to be honored with golden lotus. That being said, do I need to keep up doing dailies everyday? I think the answer is no. Doing dailies EVERYDAY is a time-consuming and tiresome job, the gold reward of doing dailies can be ignored with tens of thousands of gold at my hand, so I'm thinking only doing dailies to make sure I hit revered with various equipment-related factions once I accumulate enough VPs, and certainly that doesn't require me to do it EVERYDAY. Maybe just doing them to fill weekly VP cap in addition to heroics and raids is good enough.
Unless there are other REAL benefits for being revered with these factions I'm talking about (sha-do pan, golden lotus, klaxxi and august celestial. I have no interest in cloud serpent, so I'm talking about that faction.), are there?

Heya
I agree with you there, and I must admit that there is TOO many dailies of various factions in order to earn reputation with in this first tier, which I hope will only be like this until we hit 5.1 and only need to semi gear our alts.
Been grinding almost 1.5k dailies in TB when that was the hit, and been doing Loremaster within the short span of time I've played I think it is too much, I know I can only blame myself for doing so many quests, but I liked the old method of grinding heroics more because at least you don't have to spend a million hours trying to tag regular mobs and get the semi rare drops etc required for some dailies, perhaps if it could be balanced so that you can earn half the cap weekly with haste by grinding heroics so you can get to the cap more quickly and then spend half the time you spend on doing dailies once you hit the interesting reputation ranks for the items you are interested in.
Been playing a little less I must admit after Pandaria hit since I honestly didn't want to spend so much time grinding dailies but it seems to be the only thing to do if you want to gear up for PvE at the moment with the low rate of VP from heroics or similar until you can start proper raiding.
I know I left out LFR in my calculations, but trying to do an LFR is like a progressing in a heroic raid with all the people /afking, tunnel visioning, or simply not respecting simple mechanics in order to make the entire group survive, which makes it hard having to carry people.
Just my thoughts,

I've been enjoying how much stuff there is to do, and I haven't been too stressed out about not being able to do every daily every day. I do as many as I can, and if one a particular day it's none because I end up in heroics all night with my friends then I don't stress about it. I'm just glad that I won't be done with every faction in a week, and then left with nothing to do.

I have been preaching this since late beta when everyone started complaining about the ´daily grind´.
There are 2 things you need to make sure of each week
1. 1000 VP
2. 3 lucky coins
VP is definitely the limiting reagent, and as long as you are doing a few dailies per week, you are always going to have a rep vendor available.
Do LFR 6 bosses and Sha of Anger and use your coins on bosses that drop the biggest upgrades and you won´t even have to worry about reps except for vanity items.
I said before.. there are going to be a LOT of people in a month figuring it out and thinking ´why did I grind all those reps the first 2 weeks´..

There are free epics when you hit Exalted (ring and neck) with Klaxxi, Golden Lotus... other than that it's just mounts. If you don't need 489 ring/neck or care about the mounts you never really need to go beyond Revered with any of them.
-- Keep in mind I'm not certain about any free epics from August / Shado-Pan --

To answer the question: No, do the dailies when you want to and not a moment before.

IIRC Shado-Pan gives a special cloud serpent mount. I don't think August Celestials give anything but we'll find out in about a week or so when I hit exalted with them.

AC is the one that gives the serpent mount. Shadow pan gives 3 tiger mounts and the hat for transmorg. Klaxxi gives the scorpion mount and the tranmorg weapons. GL gives crane mounts.
I am doing AC for now. The bracer enchants are very very lucrative at this point on my server, of course everyone will get them the same day I do haha

Actually Azrile, I was directly referring to the
Shado-Pan exalted finale quest.
This is what Sas was referring to when discussing the "free epics". I am fully aware of the purchasable mounts.

The answer is no. You don't HAVE to do all dailies every day.
Unless you are in one of those hardcore progressive world first guilds (which in my humble opinion kinda beats the point of playing the game in the first place) its pointless.
What do you REALLY get by doing ALL the possible dailies every day? you get capped with VP faster, and you get rep faster. Having said that only 4 out of all the available factions actually reward VP gear at revered. Just 4. And out of these 4, only 1 takes long to complete their daily circuit every day (Golden Lotus), since Shado-pan only has 5 quests per day, August Celestials has only 4 per day, and Klaxxi has 5 per day.
If doing 14 quests per day is this taxing............. there are other ways to get geared ya know? LFR is open to just about everyone, its dumb-easy to complete, and thanks to the elder charms its impossible to not get anything out of it. Hell, I've run Mogu'shan Vaults only 2 times, and I've gotten 4 drops. And that's just 1 raid, once Heart of Fear and Terrace of the Endless are open, its gonna be even more chances of a drop per week.
Reputation factions only exist to give something else to do when you've exhausted EVERYTHING ELSE to do in the game, not to burn these first, and the other content later. Not for nothing they reward mostly cosmetic/vanity stuff.
This is why I only focus on 2 factions per day, once I'm exalted with those, I'll move on to another 2. I could, if I wanted to, focus on all 7 at once, but that would only be counter-productive, as it would only cause me to be burned off dailies, and would empty the content on my plate that much faster.

What's the problem?
Step 1. Go to
Mop Factions List
and figure out what you level rewards you want to obtain.
Step 2. Got to (removed) and figure out how long it will take.
Step 3. Plan accordingly.
