I'm in a casual raiding guild. I went to about 5 fear raids before I got my tear. I did have to spend 120k on torpor though....But I've made that back easily.
As for farming plat, I only do that on off peak hours when I'm waiting for my friends to log in. 500-1k a day adds up, and I can get that in 30-60 minutes while eating breakfast.

Honestly what some consider casual to others isn't so casual.
I don't think the shaman class is for anyone that considers themself a casual, unless they really plan to invest months on top of months, maybe even years to advance their character to the top of it's ceiling gearwise and spellwise.
I have a 55 shaman, and honestly just felt defeated by that point. The idea of exactly how much money I would need to pour into someone's pockets discouraged me greatly.
If I have a 60 shaman, I want torpor, and I would want other spells and the epic too. Most likely I'd have to pay for all of these things and for me the time investment simply wasn't worth it in my mind to carry on further.
Maybe if I truly loved the shaman, I'd feel motivated to push on with him, but I didn't love him that much.
I know a guy that played a shaman for ages, literally took him 2-3 years for him to get lvl 60, his epic, torpor, and all his other spells. He did not play to raid, and so everything he gained he had to pay with money he farmed at seafuries.
Actually, I don't know what happened to this guy, because I no longer see him logged in anymore haha. Maybe after he got all of what he wanted he quit?
Anyway, my point is it takes a lot of dedication to gear a shaman out particularly if you are not in a fairly organized raiding guild.
GL OP with your tear.
