As a JC, I always loathe when someone is looking for a JC, but doesn't know what cut they want. This is a guide I always have open in Firefox, which is a GREAT reference guide for what color gems are, what you need them to do, and which socket colors they can "fullfill" bonuses for: http://www.wowwiki.com/Northrend_gems_table

I'd also recommend skipping over the Outlands gems and going straight into Northrend gems. Northrend green gems are fairly cheap on my AH and I'm always cutting them for friends leveling up. Most of the blue/socketed gear you'll get in Outland will last you into Northrend--gem for the stat you need most (you won't be gemming for hit in Outland, simply because you'll need to worry about it at 80, but not at 61) and I usually don't worry about the socket bonuses at the lower levels.
