What major item(s) should a Shaman save for/prioritize?

Why didnt anyone re-open Pandora's box yet? Let me do it:

If you intend to be ubah at 60, you need to go OGRE. Frontal-stun-immunity is the only way and above everything else (yes, also even the regen for certain races)!

There are so many posts rehashing shaman races, weighing pros and cons, theorycrafting situations.. and it still took me three days to pick a race for my shaman alt. I just can't understand how people can stand looking at troll or ogre butt for eternity [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Missing out on that JBB makes me a sad iksar, though.

Honestly I'm so happy that I get to use Ceremonial Iksar BP and JBB and stuff. I just need to follow Loramin's advice and get some cash together to pay for them.

I've been farming for Goblin Gazughi Ring for weeks now without any luck. Longest unlucky streak in my career. I'm up to over 100 courier kills without a drop currently, spread out over a few weekends. Sat there for 16 hours a few weeks ago on a saturday and killed 43 Couriers with nothing.

A JBB is the single most important item you'll ever use levelling up, especially solo. Next is a fungi. Both of which, will lose their luster once you have Torpor. I put my fungi on an alt and I rarely use the JBB anymore.
With Torpor it's faster/easier to just Bane/Pox a mob down and canni the mana back. I haven't read the entire thread but I am confident other shamans have said as much.

It's not just worth the trouble, it's good, and every shaman should have a gcd resetting item because it makes buffing, rooting, canni-ing, and everything else easier
I've not used a JBB but you don't have to be a genius to understand that free decent dps = good
I have a fungi and the difference is night and day. Soloing without a fungi is much much slower.
