For my enhancement shaman I am going to be trying to figure out what gear I can collect at 70 before raiding to be the best PVE person I can be.
I'm using the following values to help rate my gear. These values were taken from here.
Attack Power = 1
Strength = 2
Agility = 1.74
Crit Rating = 1.97
Haste Rating = 1.28
Hit Rating = 1.34
Armor Penetration = .22
Expertise Rating = 3
Weapons
For my weapons I'm looking at:
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28433
Obviously this requires blacksmithing but I'm not sure if the recipe is obtainable without a raidgroup. If it is I'm willing to farm up BS for these.
Alterntively we have this:

and
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30364
Or two of:
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=18828 <----I like this alot.
CHEST
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=35381
HANDS
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=35382
SHOULDERS
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32575 <--- If I spend the money for LW 375 or
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29326 (quest)<----most likely
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30952 (easier quest)
HEAD
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=35383
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28577 <---- I think this is gonna be better.

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29119
BACK
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=33122
I almost forgot belt:
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=33895
All of these would be socketed with:
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=24027
Now... if anyone hasn't guessed I just ran through wowhead looking up items with str on them. Because I'm at work and don't have a lot of time to search -every- item with agi/str/crit/ap to compare against these. But please if you have any suggestions for alternate starting items or if you notice that one of the items I'm mentioning is a lot harder to get than I think it is... please pipe up. Yes even you there in the back.
I'm wanting to get an idea of what to work towards as I level up.
EDIT: Powered by added and list updated a bit.

While I have nothing else to add, I'd love to see a "Powered by" script added. I'm sure you already know of these.
Powered by Wowhead and Powered by Thottbot lets you view the items linked via mouseover in stead of clicking. Having played WoW for too long has gotten me stuck in "hover to see what it is" mode.

and get it fixed.
You already have your item weights so just plug them into lootrank and choose the armor type and source (pre-kara gear, so not from SSC/TK etc.)
I've been able to create very useful lists this way.
At this time all BS/LW/Engineering patterns can be brought or made for you its just a matter of how much.
Wicked axe of the plains is trainer pattern with all mats available on the AH.
If your looking at maxing out professions then I would say BS Hardest then LW'ing then Engineering. But i wouldnt recommend your first 70 be double producer, keep one gathering skill. Dont forget about pvp as a possible source of upgrades. My shaman alt is 68 and allready has 50k honored banked for 70. JC/Engineer for professions.
Engineering is a far sight cheaper to level than blacksmithing, and you might wanna take a look at the goggles (these is fer melee - ia also caster and healer ones too).
The PvP axe ya got is actually fer level 60. Currently you can get the S1 axe from battlegrounds, and improved versions from arenas. And is gonna get better when Deason 4 starts.
Another good sight fer planning gear be Kaliban's.
Best of lucks to ya Dammer. Lemme know I can do anything ta help.
I'd recommend making a similar list for enchantments, head inscriptions and shoulder inscriptions, I find such things make quite a noticeable difference. The EJ wiki of course has all this but they don't list the mats cost or reputations needed to get them.
Finally I've been messing with the Pawn addon which you can put stat weights into and it will show you a score for items in game. I'm quite lazy so its an easy way to compare things.
