Agreed, though please keep the green Northrend gems in. The green Northrend gems are better than the epic (and even the JC only iirc) TBC gems, however the difference between green northrend gems, perfect northrend gems and blue northrend gems are minimal.
Apart from being a hunter who doesn't want to spend several hundred gold gemming a subpar piece (not that I really have those anymore) I also wouldn't suggest an applying hunter to go all out if the gear is set to be replaced within a few runs - we are very low on the hunters, shaman and warriors and due to the rate of new characters in this grouping we can almost guarantee that these characters will get new gear if they don't have better from somewhere else already.
I'll admit I still use green gems too, mostly because of the expenditure of the blue ones, and the difficulty of finding a jewelcrafter that can cut them (I am lucky I have a JC character too, but the token system makes it a looong trip to pick up all the gems that are needed).
