Godbox makes some good points.
To lessen the cost even more, a JBB (Jaundiced Bone Bracer) is not required by any means and is only useful for a certain set of levels. Some people make Iksar Shammies for the added AC and the regen (same as troll) and they can't even use the JBB. But from 45 - 54 roughly, it can be very helpful since doing damage without spending mana is awesome.
So out of BlkCamel's list, the only thing needed pre-60 would be your pet spell at 55, which sells for around 4.5k, and your epic. But like everyone said, if you do make it to 60 and want to be as OP as everyone says, you'll need Torpor which will take some time to farm up the plat or get lucky that it drops and you're with guildies.
To stay on topic, however, none of this is relevant to a lvl 19 Shaman who is new to the game. Your primary concern should be getting a better weapon. Pretty much the only caster that face tanks a lot until root rotting becomes manageable.
