Heroics. And for the love of God, don't buy epics from the AH unless you
know
its at a good price.
Heroics and normal instances offer plenty of great things that you'll use beyond Kara. You don't need to be decked out in epics for Karazhan. D3 and a few Heroic epics are perfectly fine for entry-level Karazhan.

Mechanar is easy.
Karazhan is an epic raid.
There are differences. But yes, again, you don't need full epics.

Like Don Santos' for 615g :D (Got it a few days ago and is excited.).
To the OP: Just run instances etc. Once you have some gear you can get attuned/run Kara and heroics for upgrades.

the problem was that i could never get a group for Getting attuned
Here's the quick and easy.
*NOTE: This guide is for Hunters. Some advice may not pretain to your class. Also, I'm personally a Horde hunter. So feel free to correct me on points that are either- A) Not available for the Alliance, or B) There is an easier/better way for the Alliance.*
Step 1
- Get your butt to Kara, and start your attunement quest. Get to the point where you have to retrieve the first key fragment.
Step 2
- Start doing level 70 instances. This includes:
Hellfire Citadel: Shattered Halls
Auchindoun: Shadow Labyrinth
Caverns of Time: Black Morass (Shown in game as "Caverns of Time: Dark portal")
Coilfang Reservoir: Steamvault
The following instances require a flying mount (It seems warlocks can no longer summon people to the platforms):
Tempest Keep: The Mechanar
Tempest Keep: The Botanica
Tempest Keep: The Arcatraz
Grind those until you have at least 2/5 of your D3 set (Beast Lord), and have replaced about half your gear. This will also help you to learn the instances for the third step.
Step 2.5
- While doing these instances, get your key fragments.
*Each Key fragment is in a container in one of the level 70 instances. Upon opening the container, a level 70 elite elemental will spawn. You will loot the key fragment from it's corpse. Everyone in the party requiring the fragment will be able to loot it from the corpse... this is not a "1 quest item loot per kill" type mob.*
The first key fragment is in a container to the left of the final boss of SHADOW LABYRINTH.
-You must then go turn it into Khadgar, an old man standing next to A'dal (The naaru A.K.A. "big shiny thing") in the middle of Shattrath City.
The second key fragment is in a container in THE STEAMVAULT. It is in the water right in front of the first boss. You will need to swim down a bit to see it. You DO NOT need to fight the boss to get it.
-You do NOT have to talk to Khadgar after this, as the quest needs both the second and third key fragments to turn it in.
The third key fragment is in THE ARCATRAZ. Fight your way up the ramp next to the first boss, and make a hard right into the room at the end of the ramp. You may have to fight 1 or 2 of the void creatures there. The container is in the corner of the room. You DO NOT need to fight the boss to get it.
-You must then take the second and third key fragments and turn them into Khadgar.
You will then need to go to BLACK MORASS (Shown in the Looking for Group interface as "Caverns of Time: Dark Portal") to get the key activated. To gain access to Black Morass, you need to complete the quest in Caverns of Time: Durnhold keep, freeing Thrall and then keeping him alive. The quest is complete upon the death of the Epoch Hunter (Third and final boss of the instance).
After completing the Durnhold quest, you need to complete Black Morass, and talk to Medivh to have him active the key.
Take it back to Khadgar, and BAM!... Attuned for Kara :)
But we're not done yet!
Step 3
- By now, you should be fairly well geared (All blues or higher, except maybe your ammo). IT R BE HEROIX TEIMZ NAO!
Start off with some easy heroics (The Mechanar, Slave Pens, and Underbog are all good ones to start with), and begin building up a supply of Badge of Justice, along with some epic gear from the instances.
During this step, you may find it beneficial to grind rep in some of the regular level 70 instances to get certain rewards (Glyph of Ferocity and Marksman's bow /Veteran's Musket come to mind ~_^ ). This is a good idea :)
After that, find yourself a group or guild for Kara, and have fun :D
Also, to knock out the whole "Scryer versus Aldor" question- I suggest ALDOR. They have more hunter-beneficial gear then the scryer in my opinion.
