So far as I can tell, wiring for DCC means no need for seperate blocks or cabs, and no power routing in your switches (everything hot at all times). This is becuase DCC controls the locomotive and there is no NEED for dead sections of track with DCC. However,  blocks and cabs and power routing switches CAN still be used with DCC. It will work. Just not as necesarry as with DC. I wired all my track with Peco Insulfrogs, had dead sidings, and power routing switches, no seperate power districts and got things running with DC, then simply plugged my DCC system in and it worked just fine.  Bottom line, you don't really have to do anything different wiring for DCC in spite of what everyone says.
