I've said it before: I predict a huge run on glyphs when 4.0.1 goes live. People will compulsively buy complete sets of glyphs (the new interface even shows which ones are missing, leaving big gray holes in the screen, which compels people to buy), and a lot of the glyphs are changing in their utility. People who haven't played in a while will come back to the game. People will buy sets of glyphs for their alts. It's going to be crazy. So, prepare yourself.
I've shamelessly snatched and reformatted this from Ro's post on the blizzard forums.
All glyphs require 3 inks to make instead of 1 so fill your stock up now. Do not wait for patch day, because your inks will make 1/3 as many glyphs on that day.
- Many glyphs are changing to new glyphs. If the itemid is being recycled, they will convert in your bags to the new glyph.
- Many glyphs are being removed and have no replacement, they'll magically change to [Charred Glyph]s vendor trash (50s sell price). Liquidate your position in these glyphs ASAP, but remember that after the patch, their vendor price increases to 50s (basic glyph vendor price is 1s). So if someone else is liquidating them for less than 50s and you have bag space, buy them now and vendor them later.
- You'll be able to train a few new glyphs, which use inks available today: Glyph of Blind, Glyph of Feral Charge, Glyph of Intercept, Glyph of Faerie Fire, Glyph of Tiger's Fury.
- Glyph of Living Bomb is unclear at this point - the current glyph of living bomb is being converted to a glyph of slow, and the new one might come from research.
- The glyph of colossus smash is trained, but requires blackfallow ink.
- Jessica Sellers treats Ink of the Sea as the top-tier ink in 4.0, but in Cataclysm it's Blackfallow ink (so you cannot trade in Ink of the Sea after cataclysm, but can after 4.0).
- Similarly, there are two "erasing powder" recipes available to scribes. One requires midnight ink, and one requires blackfallow ink. This is the reagent that scribes make which allows players to juggle their glyphs. My theory is that the midnight ink version will be available from 4.0, but disabled when cataclysm goes live. So stock up on some cheapie herbs and make a bunch of midnight ink if you can- erasing powder may well get overlooked in the rush.

And that's it. Good luck in the changeover. Personally, I've withdrawn most of my glyphs from sale right now. I want to have the stock to survive the run on Tuesday.
A last hint for people who got this far: if you're stocking up, remember that post-patch glyphs will require 3 inks to craft. Which means any glyph that is currently selling for less than 3x ink cost is likely to be worth buying prepatch. I've crafted a TON of glyphs that I think will be useful, but I'm also supplementing my stock by purchasing a lot of glyphs from the sub-5g market. At that point, it's easier to buy stuff up than to mill-trade-craft. I've got an extra bank alt ready for overflow stock even.
