If so don't buy emblem gear that drops there. 2pc and 4pc set bonuses can go a LONG way to increasing dps output so some go for those asap over the offset items like boots, cloaks, belts, trinkets etc. Also what can you get that is 245 from Triumph or crafted items. Upgrading those make less sense than an item that has been sitting at i200 for the last 6 months.

Teir 10 legs and gloves drop in VOA, are you doing those? If all you're doing is heroic dungeons then I would just go with whatever is the biggest upgrade available.
i dont do pugs in icc as its hard as hell on my server to get into one without 5k+ GS and achi my toons are sat at 4.8k-4.9k GS except the resto thats at just over 5k and TBH i realy dont have the time to pug each toon solo and as a group is ofc out of the question. i do the daily and the weekly and voa for frost badges and use the tank and healers triumph for crusader orbs for gold to get crafted bits as they have nothing but pvp gear to gain from triumphs
its all pretty slow going but i think im doing ok as with some of the things i've read about peoples troubles with shaman dps struggling but my shamans do well
