I got myself 3 pieces, but I need to hit that last dungeon. I am currently rocking a one-handed axe because of a blue (quest reward, I think). So far, no two-hander I have found has beaten it by more than 1 DPS (after the stats and such on it), and I am not trading a shield for 1 DPS. 37 and still haven’t finished that one.

At level 20 you get this quest (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1793), a long chain that eventually gives you the Verigan's Fist (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=6953). It pretty much rocks all other weapons for 20 levels AND makes you feel like a real paladin. Enchant with crusader for maximum lols. About that hammertime…

Played on and off since release and just last weekend finally reached 80! I don't get all of the Loch Modan hate, that place rules. I do die there a lot, or remember doing so at least, but it really is a great zone. Just trogg all the troggs and crocodile the crocodiles while also bearing the bears and such. If you're playing one of those few super awesome classes, you can even solo the elite ogres. Even if they don't drop much better stuff than a non elite humanoid, you're soloing elites, so it is totally worth it. I second the Wand notion. That really is one of the most important pieces of advice for a low level caster. Back to Loch Modan though. I know there are like 4 places to get quests, well, 5 or 6 mebbe. If that is your problem with it (besides the fly to Ironforge for one second ones) then I'd have to say that I'd blame quest helper. Once you get used to its perfection (which is very questionable at the high 70s I've recently discovered) you start to notice the zones that weren't designed to be completely convenient. Now is it a bad thing that some zones aren't convenient? Some would say yes. But think about what Loch Modan has in it for a newb. Ever been to that big waterfall thing? That's a pretty sight to see as a newb, I remember it really standing out in my newb mind. The giant lake with loch ness monsters in it, come on, that is awesome and you know it. Bingles crashed gnome plane, awesome. Oh noes our mining excavation got overrun by these monster things that you fought in that cave already, HALP! Sure thing master dwarf, I'm on it!
