I was too tired to mention that I'm tree/balance. ><

To be honest, I pretty much ignore sockets till im lvl capped. Gear will get replaced in a blimp, anyway. But, if you really want, put on SP if you are moonkin/tree.
I LOVE low level gear with sockets. After I level, it'll bring my total to 10 sockets. And really, green quality gems(if you don't want to spend much) from NR are usually just a few gold. Easy way to boost my toon.

Yeah, whenever I get gear with sockets pre-80, I tab into the AH to the specific color of the socket and then just buy the cheapest one(s) available that have relevant stats. Works well enough.
I'm really not going for the socket bonuses though, since at this level, 3 sockets of the right color = 2MP5. My JC/enchanter has been prospecting a bunch on that server too, so I have 20+ blue quality gems of each kind on him right now. Not a big hit to steal a few for this toon, although red, yellow, and orange gems are worth much more than purple and green. Guess I'll probably throw on +SP/+Spirit and go on my merry way.
Thanks!
