Level 55-60
From level 55+ you should be doing Blackrock Depths, Blackrock Spire, Dire Maul, and Stratholme for decent gear. Stuff that drops here is what you are going to want to equip.
Level 58-70
From this point on you can fight stuff in outlands. Most of the quest blues are better than old world purples. Use the equipment you come across through leveling.

Type Of Equipment
The following is what type of equipment you are going to want depending on your build.
Enhancement
Enhancement shamans are looking for plus to agility, then stamina, and then strength. This is what type of equipment you want at lower levels. Once you get 50+ you are going to want to start looking for equipment that adds to your critical hit chance and your hit chance.
Elemental
Elemental shamans are looking for plus to intelligence, then stamina, and then spirit. This is the type of equipment you want at lower levels. Once you hit 50+ you are going to want to start getting plus to spell damage and plus to spell critical hit. Then you are looking for Mp5 equipment for longer fights.
Restoration
Restoration shamans are looking for plus to intelligence, then stamina, and then spirit. This is the type of equipment you want at lower levels. Once you hit 50+ you are going to want to watch for plus to healing and Mp5 gear. You then want plus to spell critical hits, so you can get that super heal off.
Totems
There are currently 31 different totems in the game. Totems are kind of like extra trinkets that augment shaman abilities. They are gained through raids, quests and two of them can be acquired as PvP rewards. You are almost always going to have to go get these yourself. Only one of the totems can be bought at the auction house and it is seldom sold. The other 19 are all bind on pick up. Here is a link to all 20 totems (http://www.wowhead.com/?items=4.9#0+1-2). When you pick up a totem, it is pretty obvious what any one is used for. Most shaman switch these around depending on the upcoming fight.
