I have a 57 Barbarian shaman with about 20k and a JBB (and some minor gear; there's a Magelo link in my signature if you're curious).

You have a strange set of gear: Some very expensive items coupled with outright rubbish in some slots. Jarsath scale rots from Karnor could improve several of your slots for free and it's not a bad zone for a Shaman your level to solo in for experience anyhow. I'd suggest fighting there a bit whilst keeping an eye on /ooc.

The Shaman epic is really easy. Some folks might argue but I feel it's actually easier than the Rogue epic...and the folks who'd argue still usually consider it the next-easiest. The guild you said you're in now is more than capable of doing the epic.

You seem to have acquired 20K in the bank plus a 25-30K bracer and a ~5K hammer, so as noted above, that's in effect half way to Torpor (you'll probably never use that hammer again with the epic). If you try to gain experience at camps that can drop even moderately valuable items, you can make most if not all of the remainder by 60. The main thing you'll want to decide before buying Torpor is whether you plan to stick with the Shaman as a main; you can't un-scribe a spell once scribed so it's something of a commitment. I know a few Shamans who decided never to purchase Torpor simply because upon hitting 60 they chose to focus on other characters instead for the most part. The Shaman can perform many of its group duties and most of its raid duties without it.
