I want to know what gear is better for DPS cat, if I have a high +15 dex. or a +20 attack pwr. Which one will do the most or am I going the wrong direction, to help my cat DPS?
Speaking very generally, for Cat form Agility > Strength > Stamina > +AP/+Crit. For Bear form it's more like Stamina > Agility > Strength > +Dodge > +AP/Crit. At your level, and as you're leveling, you probably still have (and can get away with) a single set of feral combat gear that splits the difference.
Agility is best because it gives you one point of attack power per point, and and also increases your crit %. Strength next best because it gives you two points of attack power per point of strength. Stamina is always important because HP = life. Stamina quickly gets much more important if you're on a PvP server, do a lot of battlegrounds, or roll solo most of the time.
In a recent thread a few of us agreed that a agility:strength ratio of 2:1 is pretty good, with stamina contingent on your playstyle.

I am at work and did this off the top of my head. Check out my guy at the armory. Name Mysteriou, see if you can think of upgrades. I have only had the game since Christmas, I bought it for my son and got hooked.(game not toon)
You can check for upgrades yourself. Mouse over the item in a given slot, pause for a second, you'll see a little extension to the box with a yellow arrow in it...mouse over that and it says "Find an Upgrade." Click it. See upgrade options. Pick one that you want and go get it. Yay.
As you're leveling a pretty easy and effective measure of how good your gear is is the required level to use it. At level 48 if you have a piece of armor that says "Required Level: 30" you should upgrade that badboy. I'd say put a red flag on items when they get 5 or so levels beneath your current level, and replace them by the time they get 10 or so levels beneath you. Green items, anyway...some blue items will last you a lot longer than that.
