Oh hai
Want to gear up for Heroics and Raids? This da place to be, mon
I did not include PvP gear (with the exception of some crafted), nor heroic and raid loot.
***Note: The Eviscerator Set can be used as a
filller
, but getting the entire set is not recommended, as it uses up too much of the item budget on resilience, and lack hit, as well as having low AP.
Weapons - Swords
Reaper of Dark Souls
For combat, this is a no-brainer before doing Heroics or Raid
Ymrion's Blade
Fang of Truth
Good for Combat Sword in combo with RoDS
Meathook's Slicer
Weapon - Daggers
Libarian's Paper Cutter
For Mutilate you can DW these without problem, not bad as OH for combat
Lightblade Rivener
Lifeblade of Belgaristrasz
Ritualistic Athame
Saronite Shiv
Warsong Shanker
(
Vanguard Soldier's Dagger
for Alliance)
Ranged
Hardened Vrykul Throwing Axe
Tracker's Balanced Knives
Stolen Vrykul Harpoon
Zombie Sweeper Shotgun
Good stats but you cant use Deadly Throw

Hands

Seafoam Gauntlets
Sidestepping Handguards
Waist
Glitterscale Wrap
Ley-Whelphide Belt
Eviscerator's Waistguard

Mind-Expanding Leggings

Chain Gang Legguards

Rings

So this guide contains nothing you get from Raids or Heroics, only crafted, Quest-rewards and normal instances drops. Not all this gear is any good for PvE (like the Eviscerator’s parts) but they should be OK for some Heroics until you can get something better.
Edit: Anything you guys want to add is much welcome

Big thanks to Kicklucky for his awesome sticky, and that is where I stole this thing from
Also
this
is a good site
Enchants
Just go
here
for a pretty awesome list of enchants
***
I have found using this
achievement
to draw a picture of what pieces of gear to upgrade isnt really that dumb. Dont follow it blindly, but use it to maybe see what slots you HAVE good enough gear in.

Drawing a line between Heroics & Raids is one thing, but this goes a step further to pre-Heroics where all players start. With the help of this list, getting enough level 80 items to start Heroics should be a cinch.
Keep up the good work, Billa. Good formatting, good information. Please continue to update this!

Is it just me or does this guide contain very little amount of hit rating?

And your point is?

May be true, so feel free to post items you think would contribute :)
But if you really lack hit rating you can always use gems and enchants, as well as focusing on the items included here with HR on ;)

The issue is that early on there isn't a ton of sockets to place the gems in.
Here's a couple items I used, if I think of anymore I'll let you know.
Weakness Spectralizers
Ring of Foul Mojo

May I suggest putting in the item's MAEP score?
That way we'd know which contribute more to dps and so on.
Here's Zoda's MAEP formula:
1 Agility = 1 MAEP
1 Strength = .55 MAEP
1 Stamina = .001 MAEP
1 Hit Rating = .85 MAEP
1 Crit Rating = .80 MAEP
1 Attack Power = .50 MAEP
1 Expertise Rating = .90 MAEP
1 Haste Rating = .70 MAEP
1 Armor Penetration Rating = .55 MAEP
1 Resilience = .001 MAEP
1 Defense Rating = .0015 MAEP
1 Dodge Rating = .001 MAEP
1 Parry Rating = .001 MAEP
1 B/R/Y Socket = 16 MAEP
1 Meta Socket = 70 MAEP
For example, for the head pieces you'd have:
http://www.wowhead.com/?compare=36996;44044;44409;43260&weights=Zodars%20MAEP;21:117:119:96:103:114:20:77:100:42:22:79;100:90:85:80:70:55:55:50:16:1.5:1:1

AEP/MAEP != DPS

Sounds like a great deal of work =P
I could always do that, but first I want to finish the list a little more (both adding and maybe deleting items).
In many cases however, I think those using this guide will get whatever option seems easier to obtain, so I agree with you that putting in the items MAEP score would make people take desicions not only based on how quick they can have the new weapon or armor, but also what would do more DPS, even if that meant putting more effort / time into getting the upgrade.

I'd suggest
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44166
for Weapon - Daggers. Easily obtainable, nice speed, stats and can be dual wielded.
