I heard of people who didn't replace BC epics until they started raiding in LK. It doesn't seem that way in Cata, you will be replacing stuff pretty fast for the most part.
I had full Triumph badge gear with a few Frost pieces and some i264 BoEs and replaced everything by 63. I think Deepholm was when I replaced the last piece. I went Vash'jir --> Deepholm --> Uldum --> Hyjal --> Twilight Highlands.

@OP, don't be surprised if you aren't feeling as godly at 85 as you are at 80. Those abilities that are stellar at 80 don't matter nearly as much when your health pool is 130k instead of 30-45k.
