If t9 is the best you have access to, then get it. Make sure to look around for drops from the new dungeons that might replace that expensive t9 gear though and buy those pieces last if the loot still hasn't dropped by the time you have bought everything else.

Basically what Toldu has said.
Check some of the BiS gear lists and stuff around the web and compare with gear that drop from places you have access to (like heroics etc.)
If T9 is the best you can get, obviously you should get it.

How come I don't see anyone wearing just tier 9 gear? Everyone has basically the tier 9.5 gear... So, me being curious, asked my guildies and all chat... and they all said itz becoz the tier 9 gear is not really worth it...
I dont raid alot but hav lotz of emblems... shud i just buy the t9 gear if its better then my current? is it that bad? i dont have access to the Idols you get in ToC25 to get 9.5.....
comments?
Your guildies are little brats who bought their accounts on Ebay and/or are in the "inner circle" of the guild and are carried through every raid easily and without much effort. Of
course
they would say that.
Tier 9 is the best most people can get right now. It'll set you up for Icecrown Citadel so you actually have a chance to raid.
Why is everyone that raids the higher content then mister casual getting boosted and a little brat?
Just wondering as it would indeed be a lot smarter to simply go ToC25 and try to get some trophees.
In my guild they go for alts so...

Rogues typically don't get nor seek the T9 set because it's itemization and set bonus are major fail. The T8 bonus was much much better and now, with emblems easier to get, why would you go for a set that has no worthwhile bonus?
Go for the largest upgrade you can get and don't look to iLvL for it, look to what the piece DOES to your abilities. That is why you don't see much T9 sets around.

You should see a lot more plain Tier 9 people now that Triumphs are open to everyone and their alt. The reason you didn't see plain old Tier 9 during the 3.2 patch was because it was a complete waste to burn up 30 or 50 Triumphs on base Tier 9, and then get a Trophy from raiding and burn another 45 or 75 Triumphs and replace the item you just bought.
In 3.2 you had about 3 different types of people. Main Raiders who did 25 ToC and 10 man ToC every week. Those people did not buy plain Tier 9 because they have access to Tokens for T9.245. The second type is the 10 man raider who did their VoAs and daily heroics. This second type has some access to Triumphs and 232 loot from the 10 man, but they should (rightly so), spend their badges on the 245 offset gear, trinkets, and ranged slot items. On a rare occasion you might find one of these 10 man raiders with basic Tier 9 though. The third type would be the daily heroic runners; they just don't have enough badges to invest in the Tier gear and would more likely aim for the 245 offset pieces and spend their Conquests on Tier 8 level stuff.
But now that everything gives Triumph, I can see all of the non-raiders getting full Tier 9 basic stuff very quickly.
