Enca,  never ever ever wait on enchants or gems; you are missing out on a huge chunk of DPS, and with it, the happy smiles of your raiding friends.  Even if you can't afford the +10 stats to chest, for instance, the +8 is far better than nothing.  And the blue and green quality of the delicate series can go for a few gold per socket.  It is really worth it.

More instances = more opportunities for enchanting materials to drop = more opportunities to gem and enchant yourself = higher DPS and more invites = more instances… you see what I mean?  I like to think of it as leveling up in a different way.  Not levels that you can physically see on your character pane, but truly adds to your levels of DPS increasing.

Hey hun!  I"m glad to hear you are doing better!  That is great!  Still work on enchanting though, like Gar said.  Those ring enchants are ideal, and you will be able to get more enchanting mats in your runs.  You would really benefit from ring enchants and won't have to spend as much money.

Secondly, I would personally still consider running at the very least, one heroic a day, at least for the frost emblems, however, you can benefit from the Triumph gear.  You are still shy for handling some of the Icecrown raids, however, once you get rid of your resilience gear, certainly look to the Ulduar and ToC runs, where you can also still get upgrades and practice your rotation and working in a team for boss fights.  If you just logged out in your resilience gear, don't mind me, just seeing what the server says.

The next step?  Bit of advice – get the triumph Windrunner's gear for two peices.  You will upgrade two pieces (do the chest and the boots) and get the lovely T-9 set bonus procs.  

Get your rep for Hodir and Ebon Blade maxed.  I am not sure, but you may be able to use your Triumph badges here?  I could be wrong there, but I know there's a way to use badges to help get maxed out, if you aren't into farming rep.

Try to put Massacre on your staff.  it's awesome, and Powerful Stats on your chest.

Trial of the Crusader, normal and heroic, yields some good drops for you now.  The bows in there are very nice.  I'm a traditionalist, and prefer bows and crossbows, and picked up a Death's Head in there and used it until this week's ICC run.  Seems everyone around me was toting guns, so it was a nice change of pace.

I hope that helps, and know others will chime in and am glad to hear you are doing better.
