Since Paladins are now just starting to raid in both factions, a lot of Horde casters might find this wand handy. Alliance can get one that's a little better, but if you want mana in raids, this is the wand to find.

Name: Torchlight Wand
Type: Uncommon Wand
Damage / Speed: 14-27 fire / 1.3 (15.8 DPS)
Abilities:

• So what's the big deal about a 16 DPS wand? It's not the damage, it's the speed-- it's 1.3, which makes it one of the fastest weapons in the game. There are faster daggers, and the fastest wand is the Consecrated Wand, but that's only available to Alliance from a quest in Duskwood, so this is the one of these (see Update) fastest wands Horde can get.
  
• So why do you want a fast wand? Because Paladins bring along with them to raids a little spell called Judgement of Wisdom. Whenever they "judge" a mob with it, every attack against that mob has a chance to add mana to the attacker's pool. So if you're a wand user who needs mana from JoW, you want to attack a lot-- more attacks mean more chances to gain mana. Enter this, the fastest wand in Westfall.
  

How to Get It: That's right, I said Westfall. To get it, you'll have to visit Captain Grayson-- he's the Captain ghost outside the lighthouse on the southwest coast of Westfall, and he'll give a quest called The Coastal Menace to both Horde and Alliance alike (I know, I thought it was weird too that he gave the quest to Horde, but I went out there last night on my UD rogue and checked just for you, dear readers). All you have to do is kill Old Murk-Eye, an elite named that wanders the coast near there, and the wand is yours. When you're raiding and JoW gets put on a mob, pull this baby out and wand away.

Getting Rid of It: 12s 44c to vendors, DEs into Greater Magic Essence.

Update: CiM points out a few more 1.3 wands in the comments, including a few really nice Outland wands.
