Hey y'all.

My shaman team dinged 80 on Saturday, after two weeks of questing through Northrend. I took the masochists option of doing every single quest in every zone including collection quests, with only 2 or 3 skipped. I did Howling Fjord, Borean Tundra, Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills, Zul'drak and Icecrown, dinging 80 halfway through Icecrown. Also took the plunge and splashed out 26,000 gold on fast flyers as I couldn't handle the slowness of questing in Icecrown without them.

Anyway, now I need to look at gearing myself up from the quest greens and blues I currently have. I was wondering if anyone could advise on the quickest/easiest route to getting kitted out with epic caster gear. Normally I'd spend loads of time researching this myself, but work is keeping me very busy these days and I don't have much spare time.

My guild have already said I can take the team on our Friday night "special needs" Naxx25 runs, so I hope to have full tier 7.5 on the team eventually, but that'll take several weeks. What else can I be looking to get from other sources in the meantime? I don't see much point in running loads of heroic 5-mans and accumulating Emblems of Heroism, with them being phased out when 3.2 hits. Are there any very good craftable items that no elemental shaman should be without?

Any words of advice from anyone who has already researched all this would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for asking to be spoon fed, but as I say, time is a rare commodity for me atm.
