Actually, Cold Forged Hammer at 51 is about as good as it gets if you plan on raiding as a Shaman with a 1h and Shield. I took mine to my first ZG and MC runs, until it got replaced.

I'd advise getting these weapons, most of these will last you from 51 till outland.

Choice for class:

https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=19106 Ice Barbed Spear - Warrior, Paladin, Druid, Hunter, Death Knight
https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20648 Cold Forged Hammer - Paladin, Shaman, Priest, Druid
https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=19108 Wand of Biting Cold - Mage, Priest, Warlock
https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=19107 Bloodseeker - Rogue, Warrior

DPS only classes are limited to only 1 weapon. Hunters should go with the Polearm, as the Crossbow has strength on it, which is melee only. If you plan on Vendoring your reward, choose the Polearm, as it sells for the most amount.

Each weapon is level 63, allowing Wrath of the Lich King enchants, but only the Polearm and Mace can be enchanted.

Even if hunters can't use str, that Crossbow will give them more of a dps boost than the polearm ever will. The sheer damage output of that crossbow more than makes up for the lack of stats.

Hunters, go with the Crossbow. Leave the spear to the melee classes.They should choose the polearm, not for the money though. The crossbows damage and bit of agi. on it may be nice, but it is quickly replaced in outlands. Also, The agility on the Spear makes up nicely for any DPS loss. And I am a hunter, so I'm not some idiot just saying what I think, just what I've experienced. And yes, I used this on my hunter and it worked VERY nicely.

just a note.. As of MoP, Hunters can no longer use melee weapons as ""stat sticks"". It's ranged only. So for a hunter, the cross bow is the obvious choice. For a druid the stave, monk, same.Rogue.. got shafted... again....
