Keep in mind that it's not just a gear level in question. It's convincing 24 other people to go along with your idea. While in theory it may sound good to clear to Arthas and then go back and "skip" the other raid zones, where are you going to find the people for that idea? What will you do if Group C gets stuck on zone 2 while Group A is farming Arthas? And 10 does not go into 25 evenly. You are either going to have 5 people severely undergeared or 5 people that have to sit on the bench.
Not to mention the difference in mechanics. A great 10 man healer maybe terrible for 25 mans (see: Paladins, Holy.) Just because Johny the Priest did well in 10 mans doesn't mean he will be able to jump straight from that into Icecrown Glacier 25 mans. I think 10 -> 25 man jumping will be an extreme minority.
