everyone seems hung up on GS?
I have a GS of 4842, not the worlds greatest I will admit but, but I am getting to the limit of what I can gain from doing randomn heroics and baring spending weeks farming the occasional 2 frost a day to get better gear, I really need to get into raids.
How am I supposed to get into raids when my gear is not good enough?

With a 4842GS you should have no problems getting into VoA, ToC 10/25. You should be able to hit very close (or over) to 5K GS with emblems and over it if you bought crafted pieces.

yet if his server is anything like 2 of mine
LFM NAX 10 GS of 5k+
LFM for OS 10 GS of 5k+ must have
OR BEST YET LFG FOR RANDOM 5k+gs
I ain't talking about fun runns that are achieve runs I am talking about runs for stuff and they still make you have a 5kgs.

In most random heroics, although not all, I am usually top damage dealer or damn close to it.
The problem with GS is i could go in as DPS, have a right mong of a fit (which mine was like about two weks ago!) but still ahve a high GS so GS is no substitute for a gear inspection.

You can get to 5k GS with just heroics and the LFD system.

You are getting to the limit but you aren't there yet. If you plug an armory link we can make additional suggestions on what you can improve.
To get into raids that require higher GS:
Build a high GS set to trick them
Farm gold and get some BoE or craftable pieces
Run tons of VoA and get very lucky
Join a guild that will carry you through stuff
Start your own PuG
Either method though, you have to put in the effort and it will take some work on your end.

Build a high GS set to trick them
Thats what I do. I have 4.8k gs in my pve gear and 5.1k in pvp. And if that fails I just tell them either:
A) That I have the achievements on an alt.
or
B) That wow-heroes & be.imba says that i'm geared enough for it.

1. Armory link please. Only a small minority of people who say they're at the limit from heroics are actually at the limit of heroics. What they usually mean is that they're just tired of heroics and decided it was easier to complain.
2. Have you looked at craftables at all? The ToC 245 ones are probably getting fairly cheap by now.
3. Guild raids don't ask for your GS, and if you decide to make a raid, you certainly aren't going to kick yourself out for having a low GS.
4. Failing that, I've never believed you can really not possibly get into raids without X GS on any server. Even though most trade spams have GS requirements on them, I've only been turned down on my hovering-right-around-5k GS bear tank maybe once. Tell them, politely, and not in broken English, that you can do it, that you know the tactics, and if you want, lie about having the achievements on another character. As long as your gemming/enchanting isn't a train wreck and if they take a quick look at your character, most raid leaders let you in.

Tell them you recently started an alt on <Insert Server Name>, to play with a friend and your main is <Insert Name of Random Paragon Member> and let them check out said character.

Most people who ask for a high GS are baddies and/or scrubs who want to be carried, it's as simple as that. The funny thing is the GS addon tells you what the recommended GS is for each level. For instance, it says that 4700 (I think, not online to check right now) is the appropriate thing for T10.1 (251) gear, aka ICC10. For ICC25 heroic it recommends 5800.
It's funny how many people are totally ignorant of that feature and still ask for stupid high GS for trivial content. IMO the idiot asking for a 5K GS for Naxx either is clueless or wants to be carried to an achievement, since people were doing Naxx10 in heroic blues and purples and that's what Naxx10 is designed for.
Where's the challenge in getting an achievement when you vastly overgear something? Like doing OS10+3; where's the glory in getting that "of the Nightfall" title when you're in ICC gear, a full two tiers higher than OS10 itself? It's just some scrub who wants a fancy title without the challenge.

It is NOT possible to get 5K GS with non-frost emblem gear alone. I recently leveled to 80 as a warrior and after getting all the emblem pieces, plus crafted 264 boots I'm still in the same boat as the OP.
The only way to reach 5K GS is to raid ToC 10/25. Heck my DK that has 4 251 pieces is only 5083 GS.
My lock had a gs of 5082 without ever joining a raid, using a frost badge or high lvl (200+) BoE item, just from hc drops...never say never.

ok, some of you asked for an armoury link, here it is.

I know the cloak sucks but i have not come across a drop yet that would have provided me with anything better yet and that is where i have being trying the most, although by all account the best cloak i can see for me from HC is HoR and everyone just groans when they come into that from random finder.
As i said int he original post, I know i have not exhausted all posibilities but I am nearing the end of what I can achieve unless anyone can tell me differently.

Sorry i have been trying for that trinket as well, but correct me if I am wrong that cloak you have mentioned is the one from HoR HC that i mentioned above?
