Wotlk Pre-Raid / Pre-Heroic Gear List
I've started building gear lists to get my new group equiped while leveling and to prepare for heroics / naxx (I like to have a to-do list of quests or isntances I need to run). I won't make a list for every type / role, just for the ones in my group (feel free to contribute if you like).
This isn't the end-all list for each type of armor, it just has the items best suited for the role to prepare for harder content. For isntance, the tank gear is mostly defense / stam / str, but there are tons of other plate crit / hit / expertise drops that may be an upgrade for you until you get a tanking piece (or if you have enough defense).
The numbers are level required - item level.
