Assuming Blizzard doesn't throw out a Mag's Terrace on us between now and Cata - they said no more major patches, but who knows?

I would say, if you don't seriously raid and don't pvp, the hilt weapon will probably take you to 83-84, like the end game gear did with Wrath - IF Cata is itemized like Wrath - weapons were few and far between in Wrath.
Actually I ran ICC10 the other day and there are two swords in the first four bosses that are equivalent, if not better. Save your money and run ICC10. There will only be one or two other people in the raid that can use it, so it almost defaults to you.
