Definitely be opportunistic with your DKP and get bargains wherever possible, for survivability more so than BiS. Anything along the lines of flurry shield, vindi boots/bp, cek claw, cloak of silver eyes, etc. If I was gearing an alt, not as concerned with maximizing HP, I would grab things like koi orb and save for vulak axe / tuna flamberge first, as either weapon would add more oomph to solo and group settings. That said, my retired paladin has dawncaller spear and got a lot of mileage out of it. Even when soloing, jousting undead, it was a nice change of pace being able to sit and med or dwbp while the proc did its thing, occasionally finishing off the target.
There are a few mainstays that you can't go wrong with, though they will cost more, namely ring 10 and crown of narandi, but both are worth it even just for the effects.
