Silver Chitin Hand Wraps and a Poison Wind Censer are the best way to level from 1-40 as a Shaman. JBB isn't usable until 45, as you say. Shamans are good at melee for a priest class. They have the same weapon skill cap as Warriors from levels 1-50. They make up for not having double attack and the main hand damage bonus by being able to haste and strength buff themselves. Slow tanking and meleeing is superior to root rotting until your 40s, when you need to start fighting level 40 mobs. Level 40+ mobs get a big boost to their AC/HP/Attack, so meleeing becomes a lot less effective for a Shaman. You can just sell the SCHW and Poison Wind Censer when you need to buy JBB. Their prices are already really low, so you aren't going to lose much later on by reselling them.
Once you hit 45 you will be using JBB nonstop if you have it, and you won't be doing melee anymore. The most you will do is have auto attack on, spamming JBB while face tanking mobs. You will get a hit in between JBB casts.

None of that changes the fact that OP won't notice a difference if they upgrade the gear to get +5 more in a stat, or even if they upgrade their melee weapon. Instead of dying in 50 seconds, the mob will die in 49.4 seconds
