In Cataclysm they're supposed to change a lot of mechanics.
We'll want different stats on gear.
Tanks will not need any defense, they'll be crit capped from talents alone.

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

FWIW, replace some int with spirit if spirit isn't on the item was what he said. They dont want you to find a of the whale plate item and replace the spirit with stamina to make a of stamina x2
