I shoot handheld with constant on video lights, and I've heard that using such a lens could help improve my results. It is frustrating when the images look okay in the LCD display, but when you dump them onto a hard drive and open them in Photoshop, you notice some blur.
If you have used the IS lens, do you have any shots showing with IS on and with IS off?

My 70-200mm F2.8 is an "IS" lens....and I dearly love it. I shoot everything handheld as well and very seldom will I ever see any motion blurr with that lens. The longer the lens, the more steady you have to hold the lens so I would suggest practicing holding the lens as steady as possible when using video lights for your still work. Also, you might consider raising your ASA/ISO to 400 or 800 and see if that helps. This may introduce a little grain into your pics but you can reduce the effects of the grain with a program like
Noise Ninja.
I love my "IS" lens and in your situation....it would be the perfect tool for what your doing
