You will get most of your leather from your garrison itself.  You need 
the trade station and the trader for this though.  Once all your 
buildings are up and running you can spend resources on leather.  Beware 
that the prices of leather goes up and down.
So build the trade station and the lumber mill for resources and get 
them to lvl 3.

There is an addon called Master Plan.  That addon makes the garrison 
quest management so much easier and faster!

More will show up.  But if you want to do heroic dungeons you have to 
pass an obstacle called training grounds where you have to complete 
silver before you can enter any LF dungeon in heroic mode.  You need a 
respec on specific classes (more or less impossible if you play arcane 
mage or kitty druid).  I had to respec to frost on my mage if I wanted 
to complete silver.
Anyhoo.  You can do the time-walking dungeons though without having 
completed the training grounds and there shouldnt be any gear 
restrictions there.  Time-walking dungeons drop 660-685 gear.
Once you hit 100 forget questing and go straight for Tanaan.  A quest 
for Tanaan will show up in your garrison.  Do this quest before you go 
for Tanaan as this will open up the region (actually it IS open, 
but...).  The mobs and rares in Tanaan drops 650 gear which can be 
upgraded to 695 (and with the latest patch it can be upgraded another 8 
ilvl points).

It does absolutely nothing. :)  Vendor it and get your 25 gold.

Forget all about gemming gear unless youre raiding.  Gem slots on gear 
is random.  My best guess is that 5-10% of all dungeon and raid gear has 
gem slots.

@100, /me thinks.
