Best way - go into a Naxx-25 run where you can buy gear. Have about 15-20K gold and with a little luck you will come out with pretty decent gear from there.
Spending 15-20k gold on H Naxx gear? That's so 4 months ago.
IMO, just do Argent Tournament for a couple good blues and an epic, then wait for the patch, grind heroics and get T8. All the pros are doing it.

That is why raiding with pugs sucks. I hate people like that. Getting carried by the group is
NOT
fun for the ones carrying you along.
Okay so i've just hit the big 80,
any advice on how to best equip for healing HC's and raids? I play holy/retri pala. Thanks
I'm in kinda the same situation as you. My alt DK has just turned 80, and now I wanna make him a tank. But where to start?
What I have leanred with my main (mage) to be the best strategy is:
Choose one spec to gear, don't try to gear both specs at the same time (if you have dual-spec)
Check
www.maxdps.com
and load your toon there. Use the filters to remove all raids, and take a good look at the gear there. Max DPS isn't 100% accurate, but it will give you a nice view of what's there to be looted. If you are a little more hardcore, you can use rawr, but that's a LOT more advanced.
Check what you can buy before you start. I've seen a lot of people run heroics like crazy for a specific loot piece, when you could get a much better one if you spend like 300g at the AH. Lots of good items can be bought with Emblems; good BoE items can also be bought at the AH.
Check what you can craft. Many very nice gear pieces can be crafted
Argent Tournament is a nice way to go. Besides being fun, it gives you nice gear
If you have some friends that don't mind spending 20 - 30 minutes helping you out, run a couple of 10- man VoAs with them. I don't suggest doing any other raid, since they will have to carry you along for many hours, and that is not fun.
Don't bother going for raids at this time. You will ^&*! off and frustrate a lot of people, and that will take out the fun from gaming for all the ones involved. After you have pretty much anything you can get from Heroics + crafting + BoEs, then try out Naxx 10, get some more gear there, and then go to Naxx 25/Ulduar 10.

Do you have access to gold? This is the list of BoE, Crafted, etc gear that I basically equipped as soon as I hit level 80:
Head:
Ornate Saronite Skullshield
Neck:
Titanium Spellshock Necklace
Shoulders:
Ornate Saronite Pauldrons
Cloak:
Wispcloak
Chest:
Ornate Saronite Hauberk
Bracer:
Bone-Framed Bracers
Gloves:
Brilliant Saronite Gauntlets
Belt:
Ornate Saronite Waistguard
Legs:
Windripper Leggings
Feet:
Poignant Sabatons
Finger:

As you can see you can get pretty well geared with just some gold. I did 2 regular Naxx runs and 1 25 man Naxx run and got the equipment I have now.
