An idea that could save Old Gear

Hello people,
I was thinking about the old tier's and taught why do they have to disappear ?
Gear like Tier 6 is easily taken out just by killing a few mobs in Northrend and to bad because Tier 6 was is and will always be the most decent gear any class had.
So my idea to save these old tier's is:
With the release of Cataclysm we will see the new skill added to profession's
Reforging
.
It should be a separate profession just like tailoring & aside from being able to change stats on your gear you should be able to change item stats between them or combine them.
Like for example you have a Tier 5 Helm and a Helm from Cataclysm with big stats. You use your skill in reforging and combine the two giving you the higher stats or maybe combining the stats between them to form a new helm of a different color but looking just like the Tier 5 one.
This suggestion
"if implemented"
should save a lot of old school gear.
Thank's for reading,Peace.

Why? Why not t3? Or t5?
No offense meant here and I don't think your idea is terrible, but it seems like you are one of the people who really loved t6 because that time and content was your heyday in WoW and you can't move on. Same thing as people who can't move on from AQ40/Naxx40 and keep bringing it up every chance they get.
There is a reason old gear is now only for vanity. There are new tiers with new looks and stats to fit their current usage.

It'd be awesome if we had more choice over the look of our gear. E.g. choose T6 looks for T10 gear.

Well you got me here i really loved the Tier 6 sets and still do.Don't get me wrong i love T3 and T1 really beautiful gear but my idea was to re-use old gear as high level gear.
I mean the way warlock's set has grown from the massive cool shoulder wings of T6 to what a few extra skulls and no animation's on T10 which is no better in style than T3.

I see no need of this.... It can be cool but we'll have a lot of new items in cataclysm.

The reason why no t3 is because you cant get it anymore (unless of course you actually have the token + mats to turn in for the quest I think you still can at lights hope chapel), but I liked what some people have suggested, being able to change a class specific tier armor into a older looking tier set (i.e. Change my t9 set to just look like say t2)

Blizz makes the last teir of an expansion good enough to keep until you can get the first teir of the next expansion. When BC hit, it was a little insane. Crap greens with more stats than teir 2 dropping in HP.
With LK ppl in t6 did not replace it until Naxx. The only down side was lack of hit rating at 80. They are going to do the same in Cata. If you have t10, you will not replace it until 85. Hell heroic t10 might be better than normal 10m t11. We will wait and see.
As for old teirs, so back and get them while you can, you don't know which will disappear.

I'd like it if every high level character (eg 70 or 80) was given a new spell which allowed them to turn any bound item into a Bind-on-account item. If you are worried about ninjas then perhaps make this ability only work on items X levels below the character. I could then send some of my now obsolete stuff to my alts.

I wouldn't mind running all the time with gear looking like enhancement T7.. I got raid in WoTLK, so T7 is "the set" for me, it looks ossum. T7 looks with T9/T10 stats + bonuses (or better), no complaints here.
