I'm compiling a list of gear (and taking my sweet time doing it too) that weighs effort spent / value gained of pieces with elemental shamans in mind. Stuff like t2.5 should be the end goal, but you would have to be an absolute mad lad to raid AQ 5x a week.

https://classic.wowhead.com/item=206...mail-legguards - of sorcery - Pants
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=206...-mail-sabatons - of sorcery - Boots
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=206...al-mail-clutch - of sorcery - Waist
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=206...ail-handguards - of sorcery - Gloves
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=218...t-kris-of-zedd - Weapon
I'd also start solo pugging ZG as a resto shaman - no one really needs the ZG pieces / heart of hakkar anymore
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=198...augurs-bracers - Bracers
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=198...augurs-hauberk - Chest
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=198...ar-augurs-belt - Belt
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=199...ian-hero-charm - Trinket
Also, the rare caster gear from ZG is solid.
All these pieces are the low hanging fruit of "good" gear. I need to put some more thought into this, though.
Edit: In reference to your "risk assessment", I got a temp week ban for AFKing AV to exalted 5x at once when it first came out. This was before you could group queue so they were all in different BGs. If you're gonna play AV - make sure to play. You will get spam reported. My ban was immediately overturned without any input from me, but honestly, I should have had to deal with it. No idea why blizz flipped it.
