Hello everybody. I'm a true newb to WoW (just started a while ago) that's finally getting close to the point where I have to enter the Outlands. I am currently level 54 Enh shammy right now (and should ding 55 tonight ::fingers crossed::). I've heard conflicting opinions on what level I should enter the Outlands. Some suggest that I should head for the Outlands as soon as I hit 58 to get some of the gear drops there. Others suggest that I should do as many quests as I can in Azeroth because of the xp bonus and so that I can save as many Outlands quests as possible for the gold when I hit level 70. I was wondering what your opinions were on this matter (I'd ask on the O-boards... but I'd rather not have trolls ruin things for me)
Second Question: I am planning to respec Elemental soon. The question is when should I spec Elemental? From what I've read, I hear the Outlands have some nice gear for Elemental but I'm not sure when the ideal level would be to respec. Also, what kind of stats should I be looking for? I've read a couple of endgame guides for Ele so I saw how I should get some spell hit and spell dmg and stuff but I'm not sure what I should be aiming for as I level. (Small question on the side: How does one fight as an Ele Shammy? I'm used to melee so I don't know what the spell rotation is and how one normally kites as an Ele)
Sorry for the long post (tl;dr? lol) and thanks in advance for any help
