I was in a similiar situation, I boosted my 5 shaman from 1-60 so they were litterly naked. When i did cruuls intention my characters only had a shield and hat on, hehe...I thought just getting gear first from quests made the most sense, it was also pretty quick. Most of that gear you will keep using for quite a while...took mabey 5 hours to go from being naked to totally geared out minus ring and neck (boes are fine here). I was level 61 on all characters after this questing, did ramps and had around 300 spell damage...it was a joke. Then did bloodfurance 61/62-63, it was also pretty easy, only challenge being the second boss but hes doable
