Socketed items....

I finally have a couple socket items that I received as quest rewards. The pieces are very nice for tanking but I was wondering is it worth filling the sockets at this point or will I likely progress and pick up better stuff too quickly to be worth the effort and cost? I am currently lvl 60 grinding away in Hellfire.

You'll be picking up better stuff as you progress but don't let that stop you from throwing in a few gems into a nice item that you'll be wearing even if only for 2-3 levels. You can get really cheap gems from a vendor in the Inn in Hellfire, as well as a good deals on uncommon level gems on the AH for between 1-3g each. There's no need to get any "rare" level gems which usually cost between 30 and 50g for anything socketable until you get to level 70 where the upgrades are not going to be as easy to come by and you'll be thinking more about maximizing the sockets on the gear you have.
Also remember that you don't have to match the gems with socket colors. You may not get the Socket Bonus but sometimes it's not benificial to your playstyle anyways.
