If you don't already know about it, Wowhead has done something really neat recently, that you should take advantage of.
It's like an online version of Rawr (a great program, by the way) that uses Wowhead's databases to provide up to the minute gear lists.
Check it out here or in the links section.
My observations that may help you to get started on using this are these:
-- First you should have an account on wowhead, otherwise you can't save profiles for later viewing.
-- Second, once you have your "main" character bookmarked, use the pull down menu under "my profiles" to create a blank character template, and name it something useful. Don't forget to mark it private.
-- Third, for maximum benefit try to be as honest as possible and fill it out as though this was your character's twin. Then open a second window to wowhead and use their handy-dandy search engine to search and filter objects exactly like you would usually do. Once you know the names of the objects you want to place on your blank canvas, just right click the appropriate spots and select "Equip". It's that easy. Right clicking on gem slots and enchant slots and on items will show you "other options" such as filling a gem slot, enchanting, replacing a gem or enchant, etc.
And once you're done, don't forget to hit "Save As" to store your test profile, and then check the profile drop down menu to make sure it's there. If it isn't there, then it didn't save and you should try again.
I made the mistake more than once of trying to use the "Save as" starting from my main character, and watching all my hard work go *poof*. If you start with a blank profile it seems to work a lot more solidly, and the "new" link seems to work as well as the "new" link in the drop down menu.
Undoubtedly they will be modifying this as time goes by, but in the meantime I thought I'd lend a helping hand.
