Doing an ooc in EC will only help slightly, as the mob doesn't drop anything other than the boots, so it would have to be people who are bored and willing to just help out a random person. Also, you have to camp the Advisor and kill it for the BD to spawn, and advisor is a 4 hour spawn. So you really need to have a few people to a group that are willing to travel to MM, and then sit and wait for the spawning of the advisor, or else RL stuff or boredom will take them away.
The good news with the shaman epic is that since it is faction based, you can continue to level and get faction until you are max, and before you turn in the final piece in EJ then you can do black dire, and maybe have a few friends along the way that you've met who could help.
Good luck, the epic is worth the grind!
