79 give you rested past level 80 in Cataclysm?
If you are at the max level for your account, which you were at 70 with no upgrade to wrath, or as all 80s currently are, you STOP getting more rest.

If your character in question had been 69 without wrath upgrade, it probably would have had rest until 71 ish (since it stores 2x your level's worth of exp, and wrath levels are greater in requirement than BC, and Cata will be to Wrath's levels.

Only max level toons stop obtaining exp.
