Sleep Deprived Train - Pre-Raiding Gear/Class Guides

I've been running across various gear / class guides and throwing up a link here and there. This thread is for links to good gear/class guides. I suspect we may split it up by classes later but for now here's something for everyone.

All Classes

Kaliban's Class Loot Lists - Start here when you hit Outlands. This will suggest good instances/quests for gear for any class/spec.

Here's a raiding checklist for all classes, a list of where your unbuffed stats should be to get into Kara, and a list of bare minimum buffed stats.

WoW Insider has a Karazhan Gear Guide for most classes/specs.

Elitist Jerks Quick links to prominent class threads because a real game demands advanced math! (There are a lots of good things in those threads - feel free to ignore the math.)
