its kinda off because some of the pre-planar items are better then the kunark items and vice versa. there no total BIS list that i can find.

A 55K price cap for all items prohibits use of 25K-plus truly high-grade items. Also, your shaman's race is important since not all races can wear the same items. Since you want to buy your stuff that also mandates droppable gear, ruling out planar or whatnot. The following items are not strictly best in slot, but most of them will be the best you can do within your quoted budget. My recommendations are as follows:

Ear: Forest loops, with a single Ivandyr's hoop if your race can wear it.
Neck: Ivory Imbued Collar
Head: Totemic helm or Sebilite scale cap if you're an iksar.
Face: Platinum Ruby Veil, or optionally Sebilite Scale Mask if you're an iksar and prefer something with AC.
Fingers: Either platinum jasper rings or platinum fire wedding rings based on your preference for raw wisdom or hit points.
Wrists: runed mithril bracers
Arms: This is a difficult slot owing to a lack of good options. May as well use Jaundiced Bone Vambraces, or whatever you can wear (Sebilite Scale, Kylong, etc) if you're an Iksar.
Hands: Kylong Gauntlets or Jaundiced Bone gauntlets if you don't need the wisdom.
Shoulder: Prayer Shawl
Chest: Ceremonial Iksar chestplate *or* Froglok Scale Chestplate/Sebilite scale coat (SS is iksar only)
Back: Mammoth hide cloak
Legs: Gatorscale leggings.
Waist: Mucilaginous Girdle or FBSS if you really want worn haste (not recommended except with 2HB and even then I'm not sure).
Feet: golden Efreeti Boots
Range: Medcine totem *or* Slime Coated Harpoon (if not in primary) *or* Howling Harpoon (if not in primary)
Shield: Straithbone Shell Shield
Primary: Slime Coated Harpoon, or Howling Harpoon, or Runed Morning Star if you prefer 1HB.

Note for primary/secondary there are some good 2HB options that'll fit within your budget instead like Blight, Hammer of the Scourge or a Granite Face Grinder.

All slots should be obtainable within a 55K budget unless you badly overpay (not my fault if you do). Selecting the more budget-oriented items will result in you spending perhaps half that. These items will provide, depending on specific selections, about 80 to 100 Wisdom as well as sufficient AC to slow-tank stuff into the 50+ range. Regen chestplates are recommended for Shaman since they can convert HP into Mana at will, but are expensive and not strictly mandatory.
