I'd imagine a lot of the WotLK gear won't be itemized terribly well for changes in Cataclysm.
Still it should be decent gear, until you acquire better Cataclysm gear.
One of the reported changes coming with Cataslysm is allowing professions to rearrange the stats on gear.
For example, Tailors will be able to replace +Int on and item with +Spirit
