I got my defiler's boots at 39 and I've had them until where I am now (49) where I will be getting the next level ones.
They are great boots!
I couldn't find anything better through the whole 40's, and the ones I'm wearing are mail!
Trust me, the boots are good, the bracers are awesome (i have them as well, and a free +7 str ench), but the belt you can skip.
I am also still rocking a WW axe until IBS at 51 as well.
And if any of you are curious - I finish in the top 3 for KB, HK, and damage done almost every time, so this gear is good enough (or my battlegroup sucks? :P)
anyway, armory listing -
http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Haomarush&n=Rekros *edit* - it is a good idea to start saving up extra marks for the 60 epic PVP gear. Just a thought... that's what I'm starting to do a little before I blow through the 50's.
*edit2* -
http://thottbot.com/?set=383 This is the set I'm talking about if you need the mark count (can't get AV marks till 50's but AB and WSG can be saved)
