I know that back in Burning Crusade, you could purchase some jewels from NPC's (in Honor Hold, for example) – of course, those were entry-level jewelry, because JC's would do the hard work. That was also true in Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm.
But I can't find anything like that in Mists of Pandaria.
Is there any Vendor (wether be with Gold, Honor, or Valor points) that sells gems for equipment? If so, where?
Wow and its expansions are registered to your Blizzard Battle.Net account. If you ever lose your disc, you can simply download the WoW downloader from Battle.Net's website, which will in turn download the game and the appropriate expansions.
All of the new talent specs are on Battle.net and have been for months, now. Basically, talents have been changed from trees to tiers. Since Blizzard saw that most players chose the same talent points for particular specs, they turned most of those talents into base attributes of the class and specialization.
The current talents are primarily skills. From each tier, you can only choose one. And Blizzard has stated that you will be able to change talents easier, including no longer having to reassemble an entire talent tree whenever you respec.
Please note, as on the linked page:
All specs, spells and talents are not final and may change during the development process.

I only recall various common gem vendors in BC, greens in limited numbers from Dealer Senzik in Netherstorm, and uncut epic gems from Shaani on the Isle of Quel'Danas for Justice.
In Northrend, I recall the only gems you could purchase were uncut epic gems from Harold Winston, the Jewelry Vendor and Legacy Justice Quartermasters in Dalaran and the major faction cities for Justice.
In Cataclysm, you can collect 2 types of raid tokens (Mote of Darkness from raid bosses, Essence of Corrupted Deathwing from Deathwing) that can redeemed from Dasnurimi for Geodes containing containing uncut epic gems.
In Pandaria, the only uncut gems that can be directly purchased are the Jewelcrafter's Serpent's Eye (actually a rare gem that become a epic Jewelcrafters Facet after it is cut) in exchange for a Spirit of Harmony. As of this post, there are no epic gems available in the expansion (with the exception of the JC facet cuts) at the moment.
I believe that the only reason the common gem vendors were available in BC was because JC was only recently introduced back in BC. But since then Alchemists and Prospecting have made gems to be more easily available, so there is no need to have these "entry level" gem vendors.
They also removed Gem Honor Vendors when Cataclysm came out.
