Resto Druid Gear List, Pre-Naxx
There are plenty of other places to find gear information, and some do a far better job than I in my opinion. However, since I did spend some time putting together a rough list for myself I decided to share it with all of you also. This should, by no means, be regarded as the absolute best items obtainable. It should also not be looked at as the only options. When I was looking up gear I stopped after finding a couple of items I wanted, or when I felt the item would be sufficient prior to getting my T7 pieces. I did have to go back and look up helms, though, because I have Greensight Gogs.

Thanks for the great list. I was just going to spend a lot of time looking for what to wear for my resto druid but you did that for me. Thanks for taking the time to put this up.
Why the +stam spell threads and not the +spirit ones?
@pita
I was stacking enough spirit that mana regeneration was a joke, so survivability was a very important factor. After having issues being killed repeatedly in various encounters (read dungeons) I decided to err on the side of survivability for the leg enchants.
The head gems are wrong on the description.
Helm has yellow and shadow hood has blue
you even put useful buff food, very nice list ty.
