I'm looking all over the place for a nice, Badass, sword, something along the lines of early expansions instead of the brutish one-bladed chunks of steel.
Something that can actually look good instead of absurd.
Any suggestions?

Quel'Delar, Might of the Faithful
Elegant, well crafted, not brutish at all, has a nice lore behind it, a really cool questline and achievement attached to getting it, and the runes are a nice touch. Its also of the right size, being neither too large, nor too small, and come on, it looks absolutely BADASS. No duct-tape (Like most WOTLK swords) no weirdo floating crystals (Like most TBC swords) and no outlandish brutish design (Like the very few cataclysm swords)
In other words, perfection. After I got that thing, I haven't felt the need to use any other weapon for transmog in the game. Which is why I'm so happy that 5.2 allowed me to mog my sha-touched 2handed axe into quel'delar once more.
If that doesn't convinces you,
Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood
or its updated Cataclysm variant from BWL
Reclaimed Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood
are pretty nice. Plus the A.L. initials on it suggest that it used to belong to Anduin Lothar. And its name "of the brotherhood" suggests a connection to the Brotherhood of the Horse, a group that Anduin Lothar belonged to before it got rearranged as the Knights of the Silver Hand. (However this is all just fan speculation, it hasn't been confirmed or denied by official sources)
As a third option I would suggest
Zin'rokh, Destroyer of Worlds
but I'm guessing you're not into troll weapons, so I'm guessing
Lionheart Blade
may be more to your liking. (In which case you are in luck, as you know, after the thunderforge gets unlocked on the servers, blacksmiths will be able to create replicas of it)

If you like fire may i recomend
Zoid's Firelit Greatsword
.
Then there is always good ol'
Khorium Champion
Or cataclysmicly good
Cataclysm's Edge
Perhaps some blood elven blades?
Sin'dorei Warblade
Twinblade of the Phoenix
Greatsword of the Sin'dorei
Quel'Delar, Might of the Faithful

I myself am using
Quel'Delar, Cunning of the Shadows
tho i do not know what shield to use, nor armour for that mater to use that matches the elven style.

All very pretty.
I'm using
Executioner's Sword
for now due to it's length, but i'll try farming for Q.D.
I'm actually looking for something more "Noble" and "Heroic" rather than the typical "Smash your face in RAWR" look most items have now.

if that's what you're looking for, then look no more, Quel'delar matches everything you're describing.
A more elegant weapon, from a more civilized age.

This is another one of those ULTRA-rare times were we see eye-to-eye. This game doesn't have many good looking 2handed swords (or just 2handed swords at all, cataclysm barely had any at all). WOTLK was the worst offender though, as EVERY SINGLE SWORD in that expac was wrapped up in duct-tape.

Nah, you're looking for this one
Argent Avenger
which regretably is no longer available in the game. Thank goodness I got mine prior to cata, and kept it safe.

Can we stop agreeing?
It's ruining the rarity of it.

Not bad, but for me Quel'delar is the one and only sword I'll ever need. And weekly I do onyxia in the hopes of getting its sister, Quel'serrar for the case I ever need to dual-wield onehanded weapons (Which I should not, since 2hand frost is far stronger than DW Frost at the moment)
Different tastes I guess.
