In general, levels > gear, so for most people I'd say your best bet is to not even try to get more gear: Shaman are awesome and can solo fine without it. Soloing to 60, then getting gear, will be the most efficient path.

But, given this goal:

Well, two things. First off, the dragons here aren't like the dragons on live, which is to say 95%+ of the players killing them aren't on their first level 52 char ... they're on their second ... or sixth. They're in a top raiding guild on the server, and playing a level 52 alt (or a "bot", ie. a guild shared account). Furthermore, these players are waiting on a "Batphone" (Discord message, text, etc.) to alert them when the dragons appear, so they can kill them as quickly as possible.

If you're serious about seeing Vox and Naggy, you need to join such a guild. You could make some sort of deal to not join but "ride along" for no loot ... but that would likely be more work, and if you want to see Vox/Naggy, you'll probably want to Tunare and King Tormax, or maybe even Vulak`Aerr someday, so why not join now?

Second (getting back to your original request), stats are the worst thing to go for. You truly won't notice 30 more points of AC/HP/Wisdom even half as much as you'll notice the clickies from your epic or a JBB. You'll also get more "bang for your buck" from just the the instant-SoW booties from your epic quest, the 5HP regen from a Ceremonial Iksar Chestplate, or the reclaim energy of a Mage focus item (clicked from inventory ... this one sounds like nothing, but it lets you get a max-level pet for your soloing session in only a few minutes, which makes a big difference).

In short, while Toxigen had some great stat gear suggestions, if you want to go that route, I'd suggest instead checking out the "notable" items on the Equipping a Shaman page, and focus on them ... if you're not going to level.
