Hey now dont take my goals away from me lol but it still leaves the question of how i get it are they just random drops in an instance or do they come off bosses?
I'm gonna start with the basics as I'm assumin that you have no experience of high end raiding or the commitment/effort it takes.
The items are obtained by trading in items which drop from bosses in the black temple and mount hyjal 25 man raid instances. For example the gloves are created by trading in
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31093 to
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=23381 NPC. He will then give you one of the 3 different druid set gloves in return (you choose which one you want). That's the easy part.
Here's the hard part, the instances work on a 1 week reset, so you go into the instance and you have until the following maintenance (tuesday or wednesday depending on eu or us) to kill all the bosses in there, they won't respawn when you leave the instance.
In order to clear one of these instances you will need to get into a guild which is capable of getting together a group of 25 players with the necessary commitmen, skill and gear to clear these instances. Most raiding guilds will require any applicants to have a degree of skill, meet minimum gear requirements and be available to raid at least 3 nights a week for 4 hours.
According to
http://www.wowjutsu.com/world/ only 4% of guilds have currently cleared all the necessary bosses to have a full T6 set. Also according to wowjutsu only 14% of guilds have cleared the content to get full T5. So you would need to have the experience and gear to get into one of the top 15% of guilds to even start to collect T6 (which currently you do not have).
Getting to that level in raiding will take months of hard work, gaining the gear and experience to be accepted into a guild which is attempting that level of content is no quick fix. Even if you where to somehow get a trial with one of those guilds (something else I fogot to mentioned you won't find guilds like that advertising for recruits in the trade channel and you won't get automatically accepted) without experience you won't last. I've seen players I've known as experienced pvpers (High warlords and grand marshalls the best pvpers on the server) get into a raid guild (with great pvp gear) and fail trials because their lack of raiding experience shows through.
In summary, getting raiding gear isn't a quick way to get epix, it takes months and commitment (it's why raiders often mock how easy pvp gear is to obtain). If you want to raid and you have the time go for it, it's great fun and gives a real sense of achievement, but don't think you can raid for a bit so you can get shiny purples. Raiding doesn't work like that. The time commitments are way off skew with the gear you will recieve, the real rewards from raiding are progress.
