Catalog gear - where did You get yours?

[thedreameater]

My team doesn't have enough points to enter heroics, there aren't crafted sets, and grinding rep only works in heroics (which require better gear) or grim batol, which would take forever to grind...

Where are y'all getting your gear?

I got rep in Halls of Origination and City of Tolvar normal with the faction tabbards on. Havent tried any of the others yet. 10 rep a kill and 150 a boss.

I think most (all?) of the new Cataclysm factions also have dailies which reward some reputation as well. At revered and exalted there are a few purple items that might be worth your while, depending on class/spec.

Here (http://www.wowhead.com/blog=176361/cataclysm-reputations-guide-vendors-rewards-and-more) is a nice overview of the reputation awards.
With questing you should at least come to honored, Hyal gave revered.
With tabards on in at least Hoo, Grim Batol and Lost City you also get rep.
Currently halfway exalted with Wildhammer to get the purple rewards!

Sweet find. Thanks!

I also found these lists:

Paladin pre-heroic gear (http://rhida.ch/2010/12/09/your-pre-heroics-shopping-list/)

Shaman pre-heroic gear (http://totemspot.com/2010/12/the-fresh-85-elemental-gearing-guide/)

It looks like I'm gonna have to step up and plunge into the 85 dungeons.
