Don't worry about getting geared up until you're near max level and can make money quickly (e.g. 1-2 kpp an hour power leveling, or similar rates camping valuable items). Good gear is not a necessity for leveling - you can level very quickly as a druid with charm animal without any gear. You won't always be able to quad kite without your wisdom near max, but you don't need to do so to level well.
