Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm returning to announce I've got heroic Gundrak and UK down. Might try and add a 3rd or 4th to the mix to start grinding badges.

Next question - where do you get your back, feet, shoulders, weapon, and shield?

For my tank I use the Argent Tourney weapon and the heroic badge shield. The rest were blues (as suggested) from normal dungeons. For my shaman, I will get the legs, hands, head, chest, neck, and waist from Crusader turn ins.

What is suggested for the back, feet, shoulders, and weapon (assuming the protective barrier is best for ele/resto shield [item=40700]Protective Barricade of the Light[/item])

Also, when you were able to farm Gundrak and UK, what did you start on next?

This is the best community I've ever been a part of on the internet. Thanks again.
