From everything I hear it won't really be an option.

Well... the rumors seem to be pretty finalized... and IMO it's a better-built list. Drop guard was pretty much the only way to go if you wanted a chance with the last book, but there are many more options now.

How will they work? They'll already have 'dropped' (eg deployed) except a few sqauds that are still in the valkyries. Valkyries have a 'grav chute' rule, so they have effectively replaced the old drop rules with this rule.
Only unit that can DS without a valk appears to be Storm Troopers.
One could presumably take 9 valkyries and stuff the army in them and take little else.

hmmmm.... i hope it works. I am planning to start 1 though.my plan was to drop melta´s behind vehicles plasma´s behind elites and flamer´s behind troops.
1 problem I saw was large numbers of enemy troops in cover. on my FLGS´s main board many put cover near the edge, in the form of ruins or bunkers. flames work because the enemy dont get cover saves but getting close is a problem. losing a valk through mishap is not an option.
