for all intents and purposes I am a returning player who quit in mid 2003. I came back briefly last year for a month or so, then quit until this past week. I purchased a 6 month plan so I will be back for a while

Anyhow, I have missed many expansions since then, and I never raided when I played. Consequently there are many mechanics I have msised, essential quests and items and such.
My mage is lvl 81 currently, with 500 AA's. I am tryint to stay locked at 81 and get 1k AA before proceeding. I have been killing mobs in OGH and doing the tasks there for AA exp, and it isnt too bad, but I have a feeling I could do much better. Since I am rusty, still figuring out how to layout my UI and such, I have not been grouping.
I have not done my epic (did a couple things but very little), and do not have the 'shawl' (I assume thats the coldain prayer shawl).
What should I do that I have missed on my mage (I basically powerleveled him last year from 40-78, then 78-81 this past week) or what gear should I get (mostly defiant still, couple Abstruce pieces courtesy of my guild)?
Thanks!
