Probably not; the high end gear for BC did last till mid 70's after all.

Also...I know they are getting rid of a lot of stats such as Armor pen and spell power etc...will the stats on pre cataclysm gear be changed as well when cataclysm comes out?
Yeah, Blizz is probably going to change the stat's on all items. Hopefully..They need to do it....

Well I'm gonna assume that it's going to be like when WotLK came out. If you were epiced out in BC, your gear was good till halfway to 80. But the greens would beat out whatever you got from quests or normal instances, maybe heroic?
They just need to redo all the item stats, even the ones from vanilla. Considering the world is going to be changed, why not the loot. Warriors don't need Spirit.
They already are.........

Hmm someone wasn't in sunwell... It was equal to 80 blues and ensidia raided naxx in sunwell gear a few days after wotlk release.
On the topic however I don't think I'll be remplacing them soon. As we were told in cataclysm everyone will have very high health so u can expect more stamina in items.
No I wasn't, but my Kara/ZA gear carried my Warrior till 78 or so.

Heck even my Auchindoun (normal) blues lasted me until 72-73 or so.

I think with the much lower jump to the new level cap in Cataclysm, guilds decked out in Heroic ICC 25 gear will be rocking it well into the first raids of Cata. And I mean like, not they get upgrades in the first one, but they got through one (or two) of the first endgame raids in Cata without anyone replacing a thing.

Well, i don't raid, or should i say CAN'T raid because of those elitest jerks asking for epic achievement/instance or raid achievement and gear score. All of those = Fail group
So i'll be happy when Cataclysm comes out because then i can basically start new on the gear hunt.

Gearing up is easy, unless they don't ask for achievement you can just watch the videos and learnt he fights so you won't have to get carried, and gear... well with Triumph you can get a pretty good GS to jump right into ToC10. That's what I did and it worked well.
Now, if your server is one of those where Achievements are a MUST, then you're screwed.
Just don't be one of those piece of crap that expect to be carried, I usually kick anyone who isn't performing well in a heartbeat.
I don't expect to be carried. I know the boss fights. And yes, the server always asks for achievements.

epics are never replaced with greens...
back on BC, if u had epics (tier 4,5,6) it won't be replaced by northrend greens, blues however (those in icecrown and stormpeaks) can replace those....
same goes for cata
if by now u're decked in t9 (and there is no reason why u shound't as the full set can be grinded in a week) most likely you will keep those epics till u start doing the lvl 83-85 quest-chains that reward high lvl blues, as well as dungeon-quests that reward blues.....
now those "could" replace WOTLK epics, but no way in hell a t9 chest-piece will be replaced by a green xD.
(PD: and if by any chance u get ICC gear, chances are you will keep them all the way to 85, and won't be replaced till u start raiding in cataclysm)

I take it you didn't play during the Vanilla -> BC transition. People were replacing their old, best-in-slot gear with mismatched greens that dropped off pigs. It was, to say the least, soul-crushing.

This is true. I replaced my awesome spear with a green axe twenty minutes into BC.

Wotlk epics will be replaced by greens in Cataclysm, except for item level 277 heroic Icecrown Citadel gear. The green quest rewards are item level 272, and have masteries, making wotlk epics useless.

I doubt it; people used Naxx 40 man gear up to Hyjal/BT, and Sunwell Gear went into Naxx 10 and beyond in some cases.
