I already lurked at wowhead and looked for items that are available later on. I found out some pretty interesting stuff.
A low level head can be aquired on Azuremyst Isle. Can be quite helpful,as it even has armor sorry, no armor, but also no specific armor requirement.
Blood Elf Bandit Mask: www.wowhead.com/item=23909
On the other hand, many seasonal items are for the head slot and give minimal armor, but better then nothing, eh? (Example: Bunny Ears, Fire Festival Crown)
The best white cloak in the game is no longer available, as that was the reward for the Zalazane's Fall/Operation Gnomeregan event.
The second best cloak and the only one we can still use is this one, a gray level 52 cloak:
www.wowhead.com/item=3995
White armor stops at level 45. There are some exceptions however:
Full Level 65 leather set (except shoulders), available for Horde only in Borean Tundra (the taunka village):
www.wowhead.com/npc=26697
Level 70 mail breast and gloves. Sold at various places in Outland and Northrend.
Breast: www.wowhead.com/item=30781
Gloves: www.wowhead.com/item=30784
Level 70 Plate breast, bracers and belt. Also sold at various places in Outland and Northrend.
Breast: www.wowhead.com/item=30765
Bracers: www.wowhead.com/item=30771
Belt: www.wowhead.com/item=30777
The most interesting find I had was this though:
www.wowhead.com/npc=30006
Look at her items. Those weapons have procs! The only better ones available are gray mob drops for level 74. They have much, much more DPS, but the proc is done on each attack, so maybe some classes are good with them? The procs can also crit it seems.
Also, this is the best shield in the game:
www.wowhead.com/item=30775
When you can use one handed maces, buy this from the Darkmoon Faire, as it is the strongest weapon you can get until level 60 and Outland. The last buyable weapons are level 41.
Last Year's Mutton: www.wowhead.com/item=19293
As soon as you hit 60, you can buy new weapons. They have different item levels, ranging from 69-71.
Ancient Bone Mace (One handed, only itemlevel 71 item, 2 item level above the sword and one above the one handed axe):
www.wowhead.com/item=30754
Mag'hari Battleaxe (Itemlevel 70, only two heanded weapon):
www.wowhead.com/item=30752
Aldor Guardian Rifle (Itemlevel 70, one above the bow):
www.wowhead.com/item=30758
As soon as you hit 70 you can buy various items. The strongest ones, itemlevel 80, are available in Dalaran. An itemlevel 75 one handed sword is also available for horde players in Howling Fjord. The Tuskarr also sell itemlevel 75 throwing weapons and a polearms.
Forsaken Sword: www.wowhead.com/item=40006
Tuskarr Fishing Spear: www.wowhead.com/item=39987
Tuskarr Javelin: www.wowhead.com/item=39995
In Deepholme, itemlevel 83 weapons which require level 78 are sold. However, these are worse then the Brunnhildar Village weapons (itemlevel 85) and of course worse then the gray 125/175 weapon drops of Northrend.
Deppholme Vendor: www.wowhead.com/npc=44972
That's pretty much all. I hope I could help someone, even if most aren't even there yet.
