I'm not sure why you are comparing MC epics to TBC items. It's a much more informative to compare the HWL items to TBC.
2h melee comparison
You will see the first items that stack up come from an elite 68 quest, other then the BOP crafting ones. Many of the items have no known drops, other seem to be heroic mode drops.
Var, if you can't get 1 1 handed weapon in 5 weeks.... I'm flabbergasted by this statement. That's less then 5k per week. These are ezmode epics, not free.
My personal feeling is that this is a good change. It's bad enough to see a ton of people with blues, greens, and the HWL shoulders. It would be worse for every single person to stream through the portal with the exact same gear. Most players will be able to get a weapon and 1-2 pieces. That sounds like a fun way to level the playing field a bit.
