I don’t know if it has enough zoom for your taste, but I adore my Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM. It’s a bit big, heavy, and expensive, but it is very versatile and produces some beautiful images.

I don't really have any regrets truth be told, however, I am looking to (once that I can afford it) purchase a new lens for sports photography as my current telephoto zoom just isn't quick enough. I could really do with purchasing a telephoto zoom with the same sort of zoom but with an f2.8 aperture. The light is awful in these autumn/winter months here in the UK. I took a look at your equipment, and you have some nice stuff there! I ended up getting the Canon 400D (XTi Rebel), 18-55kit lens and a Sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro lens.
