Some of us dont have a huge successful raid guild, here is a list of gear that one can attain without ever stepping foot into a raid or even spending a single frost badge. I am also leaving out the crafted gear because the gold needed for most of this stuff is hard to come by for a new 80. Getting most of the gear on this list is easy and should prepare you well for raiding when you have the opportunity to do so. I am writing this from an unholy perspective but i assume blood would be the same anyway. I also would love to hear some opinions from you all as to where I am wrong and maybe we can get a definitive list for those of us that are just starting out as a DPS DK.

Trinkets are scarce pre raid and the only thing that would better without raiding is
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=42987 which is crafted and will run you 5 k gold easy, its too bad the 245 badge trinket has soooo much hit that you'll never need

If I may quote myself:
I actually have a profile built that is set up somewhat like this. I built this some time ago to demonstrate to a poster the possibilities that the 3.3 ICC 5 mans opened up for new alts.
http://www.wowhead.com/?profile=20709317The profile assumes no professions and assumes Troll for the racials they posess not skewing any DPS numbers whatsoever (since the Profile does not account for Berserking or Beast Slaying ). Orc would be the best choice Horde side (and would raise the Exp on this profile to 22) with Humans or Dwarves for Alliance.
Swap Greatness out for anything else; BoV is a solid choice and helps compensate for the innate low ArP in this gear load-out. If you want more Expertise, swap in the T8.5 chest (232 vs. 226; it's only a 6 item level difference) since it has a hefty amount of Expertise, something the profile lacks severely.
If you include Frost Emblem non-Tier items, you can compensate with the cloak and belt for Expertise and Hit, respectively, but it would take quite some time to amass that many Emblems of Frost without raiding.
