There still aren't any new specific books for TUC, just the Quick Reference Sheets and the Old Troubleshooing IP Telephony book (check this new TUC thread for the links.

Comparing the old IPTT Exam Blueprint to the TUC exam blueprint, they don't seem to pushing AVVID anymore -- and the topics are definitely more specific as to what you need to know.

The IPTT exam description

The Cisco IP Telephony Troubleshooting exam will certify that the successful candidate has important knowledge and skills necessary to troubleshoot Enterprise CallManager, Unity, and IP network deployments. The IP Telephony Troubleshooting exam is one of two exams in a curriculum that addresses both design/planning practices and hands-on experience in configuring, deploying, and troubleshooting AVVID solutions.

compared to the TUC exam Description

The exam will certify that the successful candidate has the knowledge and skills necessary to troubleshoot Enterprise CallManager, Unity, and IP network deployments. The exam addresses hands-on experience in configuring, deploying, and troubleshooting Unified Communications solutions.

TUC definitely does look like it tests more hands-on skills and knowledge -- as a troubleshooting exam should.

It will be interesting to hear about study material reviews for TUC after someone finally takes the exam.
