From where you are now at 25-30...
Assuming you already have a fungi and a JBB (if you don't then do get them): Pick up some FT items from the bazaar if you can. Pick up some level 3 Focus effects from the bazaar. Pretty much everything you buy at those levels is tradable so you will be able to sell it all back as you out level it.
Level like mad until you hit 55. Go and buy some "ornate chain patterns" from the bazaar. Make those into ornate armour hand in quest in Plane of Tranquility- these have excellent all round stats and focus effects.
(Ignore LDoN totally. Complete timesink and time vs reward is crap. )
Level like mad now until you hit 60.
Get the key spells: Malo + HoT.
Stop levelling and get the following AA : Run3, Food&Drink3, Mental Clarity 3, Canni, Extra Spell Slot. These are the ones that will massivly up power you.
At level 60 as a Shaman you are massivly more powerful than any pre-Planes of Power content you would be facing. If you enjoy the game at this level (grouping/solo) then stay at 60 for a while and get a few more AA: mana reduction, buff extension and quick casting, dodge and mitigation. these will all stand you in good stead.
Beyond 60, I would level up to 65
Then from 65+ do DoN and DoD missions (if you can get the groups) to get spells, and armour pieces. At 75 then start AA again.
