It goes as such:
Prison of Elders is reworked and light leveled-up to the new light cap. Starting at the lowest light arena, you get "taken" VoG gear. Then "taken" crota gear, so forth and so on. And at the highest level, "taken" versions of any of the raid gear drops at the highest light, randomly. This includes weapons.
Have a good day with this knowledge in mind.
EDIT: I cannot post my source, when April comes you will see. Thank you.
EDIT EDIT: Keep discussing, guardians. April Update will show this to be true.
Edit #3: For all the naysayers: you have an opinion, fair enough. Let the update show you. Make sure to Necro this post and look at how doubtful you were.
FINAL EDIT: What Urk said does not invalidate this. I said it means that gear drops in updated PoE, which isn't the old raids.
FINAL FINAL EDIT: Looking deeper, Urk claims old gear won't return. But wasn't Darkhollow and "Harrowed" Darkhollow gear listed as completely separate? Do keep that in mind.
LAST MINUTE UPDATE: The new strike, Blighted Chalice, will be in the Hellmouth and involves Fallen who have mistakenly freed Malok, whom we all know from the Hunter legendary helmet listed in the armory.

Edited by loonigus: 3/22/2016 8:09:15 AMOne thing is for sure... Its a PoE rework. Everything else is just speculation. Doing a "taken" reskin of old PoE gear would be a suicide and the shitstorm it would casue would make the planet explode. I just hope that the taken story arc will be finally closed and we can be hyped for a new enemy type in the big DLC comming later this year. My personal guess: The taken form is part of the Strike where we get "taken" in some form. Its not a shader, its not armor, but rather just a plain strike mechanic. I can already taste the salt. Not just ordinary salt. It will be salt of the purest form.
