As far as I understood it, all old world content will have their stats adjusted. They're changing the game on a very fundamental level, and all items and content up to cataclysm will have to be adjusted to reflect that. So while it make look like your icc25 heroic items won't even get you to 85 now, once they are adjusted, they should be just fine until you replace them at 85.
