I don't want to give away what I'm going to solo next by face tanking but it's a pretty big time mob and I'd be better off if I can add in even more AC and HP.

Shaman isn't a class like mage/chanter/necro/wizard where gear really doesn't matter. I keep my Necro is almost kunark gear for this reason. Most the cash goes into the shammy because the shammy is the one who feels a real difference once pimped out.
Extreme high-end soloing is not normal play for a Shaman in EQ. Shaman don't need gear, and as bomaroast said they're still 90% effective without it for any norma play. Sure having top-end gear matters for the solo artist challenge, but that's something only like 1% of all Shaman do.
