I have two level 80 toons that quested and have good gear. I also have a bunch of level 80 toons that were boosted and granted levels from RAF that have no gear. What is a good way to get gear for these toons so they can start fighting?

If you start doing the Hyjal quests and complete that zone to unlock the FL dailies you will come out wiht some good gear. You will get some 288/308 blues for most toons on some of the quests. I leveled my 4 shaman from 80-85 by questing/PVP. By the time you get Hyjal cleared you should be 81 and closing in on 82. Head to Deepholm, start questing and get higher iLevel gear. At 83 Uldum, nice blues here as well. At 84 straight to Twilight Highland. Unlock the zone and then head to Crucible of Carnage for 333 weapons. Again lots of great items in zone.
I alternated questing with queueing for AV. Nice change up and decent experience. The best bonus is free 378/384 gear to unlock the new heroice (353) and LFR (372) functions. I did the new instances solo to get all the 378 quest items and what not. Doing the entire chain takes maybe 1.5 to 2 hours each. Too easy.
Finally, if you have a crafter there are some cheap items you can make. I made 5 pieces of the vicious set (2 x rings, cloak, necklace and relic (Played Shaman)). But I had a JC, Tailor and Inscriptionist to boost me some gear. These 5 items are all 377 or so so it helps you unlock the new content for cheap. I looked at buying/crafting the mail set but the pieces were cost prohibitive. So what I did was purchase some items from AH. Didn't equip them but it boost you iLevel to get into instances to get the gear you need to be succesful.
I had checked the AH before starting this thread. I was amazed by how little gear is available. I guess people are busy getting new gear from 4.3.
I don't think a toon with no gear can start doing level 80 quests and live very long. I guess I'll have to keep my boosting account active so another toon with gear can take care of the mobs.
You could always go back and do Icecrown to pick up some of the older gear off of somewhat easier quest mobs. You will
still get XP from the quests as well.

Your BEST option to gear up your naked toons is to use your booster in hyjal, like you said. There is no easy way unless you get lucky and find the gear on AH. Your right a naked toon will struggle with Hyjal Quests mobs.
The only downside to boosting toons from low to high level is they end up naked at the end.. but it only takes a few hours of questing in Hyjal to gear them up 8) So not a bad deal!

You basically have to go Hyjal. The good gear around 80 is basically unobtainable as people buy them to Twink lvl 79s for BGs.
