6. BoE drops via the AH
7. BMAH
You can totally ignore dailies, valor, AND raiding and still get gear, but if you choose to skip all content that requires any work, then what the hell is the point in even going after gear? More importantly, why should you get gear if you choose to skip all gear-related content? If you want better gear, you need to earn it. Sorry, but what is the point in having tiered, difficulty-based content if you're going to trivialize it by handing out the gear and letting it get rolled over?
If you don't want to raid, why do you want raid gear? Why SHOULD you get raid gear? It's like you hate practicing playing Halo online, but you still want to be in a world championship tournament. It's like wanting to get a job that requires a Master's degree but you don't want to go to college. I know that WoW is a game, not real life, but this is a game where you are supposed to better your character, and, sorry to say that, you have to WORK to get stuff.
I think that the thing I am most bothered by with these complaints about dailies is how people refuse to recognize that:
1. You don't really need to grind the hell out of them every day, as you mentioned (unless your goal, like mine, was to get the mounts ASAP).
2. There are MANY way (which I listed) in which you can still get gear without touching dailies at any point in time.
