I bought the game when it was released back in November, and I really only play it when I have some free time. Maybe an hour here or a couple of hours there, especially on weekends. I think it took me roughly 48-50 hours of total playtime to hit level 70, and basically about 3 games after that I decided to Prestige, only because I wanted to have access to the new titles, emblems and challenges.
You do infact gain a new Custom Class slot every time you do it, and I heard someone say that at 10th Prestige you unlock an extra Kill Streak (although I haven't bothered to confirm this.) I once asked someone who had claimed to legitimately reach level 70 on the 10th Prestige, and he claimed it took him 16 days of total play time, (as in 384 hours.)
Several other people who are 10th Prestige likely got there by joining hacked lobbies with 50,000 experience per kill, unlimited ammo, etc.
I wouldn't say it's worth it to prestige if you're just a casual gamer though.
