With casters, best gear at low lvls is always cloth. I never feel undergeared on Druids/shammy/etc. some of time I do not repair. some times i run instance completly broken. gear has little meaning for pve , now if you want to pvp with grp then thats whole new ball game. gear has to change so much at low lvls i never pay any mind to it. at 50 I start to build on gear to get ready for outland. Tank and main healer are then geared , rest as it comes

For pvp give up some one will always out gear you
