New camera?

I have a 450D and use the 100-400mm lens often because I take mostly wildlife and nature shots. Here's my question. Now that I'm getting more experience is this lens overkill for my camera? I've been told that, and I'm wondering if I should be looking at an upgrade in cameras. I've read that the EOS7D is recommended for wildlife. I guess my question is: would I be getting far superior shots from a new camera that would make it worth the cost? Or should I continue to work on my skills with the camera that I have now. I typically only print up to 8 1/2x 11 prints.
