Starting from this baseline: https://www.icy-veins.com/wotlk-classic/enhancement-shaman-pre-patch-guide

1. 8% Hit before talents / Draenei to cap Ability (for ex Stormstrike) Hit;
2. 17% Hit before talents / Draenei to cap Spell Hit;
3. 26 Expertise Points to reduce Boss Dodge % to 0;
4. Attack Power (as you get 2 on gear for each 1 of any combat rating plus it converts to Spell Power with Mental Quickness);
5. Haste;
6. Agility (1 Atk Power and a bit of Crit);
7. Intellect (1-1 Atk Power conversion with Mental Dexterity);
8. Spell Power;
9. Critical Strike;
10. Strength (1 Atk Power);
11. Armor Penetration.

When leveling, enemies have a much lower hit cap and you will be lacking some of the conversion talents until you are of higher level so I'd go with a simple (on a 1 stat to 1 of another stat basis): Agility > Expertise / Hit / Haste / Crit > Attack Power / Strength. You won't really find Armor Penetration gear while leveling. Overall you will just be using Agility or Attack Power gear with other stats on it in your leveling, good luck!
