I suggest getting those revered rep items first if you have the required rep. Especially rep with Wyrmrest Accord is important for your head enchant. Following that will be quest item, then crafted items. I recommend running Heroic: The Nexus, Violet Hold, Utgrade Pinnacle, Utgrade Keep and Drak'Tharon Keep as they are quite easy and most of your loots are from there, especially The Nexus. Perhaps you might run Heroics one or two times for your items before you decide whether to craft those epic items that you might find costly and comparable to Heroic items.

This is by no means an exhaustive nor an absolute list of pre-raid items that you must get. I got it from a few guides and filter the items according to what I think are easy to get and without having to complete Champion of the Frozen Waste to get your items.

I would like to have you guys' input on this post, e.g. whether item A is worth getting over item B, especially from casters.
