ICC-25 (heroic) raiders would have gear equivalent to level ~84 questing or Level 83 5-man dungeons. All of the gear gets overshadowed by the time you reach the level 85 5-mans, heroics and raids (though you might be able to use some of that gear if you haven't found a good replacement, yet). That seems like a pretty decent progression but without the massive ilvl bloat that appears it is going to occur to yield ilvl 359 epics to start the end-game.
I think Blizzard actually wants everyone out of the old gear as soon as they can because of the changes they're making, and I'm sure they're not going to change it now so that 25-man raiders can keep their epics a bit longer.
