Im in the process of replacing all my old PoP gear and so the majority of items I can get do not have focus effects built in. That leaves DoN augs to fill in the gaps for now. The rest of my gear I would like to fill with hp and hp/mana augs.
So what are the must haves, I group 80% of the time, solo 10% and raid the other 10% of my time in game.
Thanks!

Beneficial spell haste is one of the most important focus effects for a shaman, bar none. faster heals and cures = must have.
Healing focus is another must have.
After that beneficial mana preservation is more important in general than detrimental.
I'd focus on bene spell haste and healing focus and then work on the rest after that

I put detrimental spell haste up there right behind beneficial, but it depends how much you insist on casting malis first and doing dps with dots (affliction haste is a good alternative).
Objectively, beneficial haste and heal impact are the two most important. Beneficial extension is also good (for HoT and Panther especially) but don't ask me this early in the morning how much it has to be to get those extra ticks on them. A poison focus doesn't hurt, but healing > dps.
