Simple answer, buy the two you talked about already 85 F/1.2 and the 70-200 IS F/2.8, then buy the 24-70 f/2.8 and you're set. I have the 5D, the 85mm F/1.2, which I use more for glamour, and the main reason I have the 70-200 IS F/2.8 when I'm shooting NBA stuff (sports). Every NBA photographer has one, though sometimes I'll use the Olympus F/2.0 version with their E-volt cameras too. The longer zoom works great for glamour too, but I love that 85mm lens.
For the sake of great glass and sharper shots, lenses are much higher quality at F/2.8 or smaller than F/4.0 and larger. Also stay away from "variable" F/stop lens that change as you zoom. Just fyi, thanks, rg sends!
