According to
femaledwarf
, if you swap out your T9 helm for the Short Sighted Helm you would lose about -259 dps (with best buffs etc). If you were to swap out your Sanc T10 legs for the T9 bonus you would lose even more dps. With your config, the helm you got isn't an upgrade.

Breaking T9 2p too early is one of the many reasons that a more undergeared hunter like myself can rock the face off of a better geared (omfg 264 ilvl) hunter. It is a pretty massive DPS increase, especially if you like to prepot Wild Magic and/or overwrite SrS with your T10 2p procs (if applicable).
Someone can correct me here, but I thought the general rule of thumb was that you can pretty much stick with the 245 T9 2p until you get up to T10 4p with a few of those being the 264 (Sanc) T10.

T9 adds a certain amount of dps according to the spreadsheet. I believe when I ran my toon through it was around +250 dps from the T9 2 set bonus itself. T10 4 piece added around +170 dps just for that bonus. So your T10 pieces would have to makeup for the ~80 dps difference or so the T9 2 piece bonus provided. The idea is that the Sanctified extra stats would make up the greater dps difference to offset the 2 set T9 --> 4 set T10 damage difference. Kinda odd imo that the 4 piece T10 bonus is lower than the T9 2 piece bonus.
That being said, you can't control (to an extent) what upgrades you'll get. The OP was lucky enough to have BOTH Sanct T10 legs and gloves drop for him from VoA 25. When planning gear you can't always predict the future and you should plan ahead with the least amount of changes possible. For example I plan to have the T10 helm, chest, shoulders, and gloves at the end. If a better piece happens to drop that I can use, I'll use it. The Short Sighted helm dropped for me as well AFTER I bough the T10 helm so I was stuck putting it in my bank.
Right now I'm debating on what my next move would be. I was going to go for the 4 piece T10 set (all minus legs) but the spreadsheet shows it would be a better dps increase if I upgraded my cloak and belt. If any of the chest, shoulders, belt, or cloak drops for me in ICC then that will change my plans. It's hard to predict what to buy next with emblems, but it's generally a safe bet to buy T10 helm, chest, and shoulders because that's the only way to get those pieces.

2-3 pieces depending for marks not counting t10 legs which you should never use.
If he were to NOT use the Sanct T10 legs he has on it would be a dps loss.
